Method
 

Step 1: Wash and Cut
  1. Wash all vegetables under clean water. Peel the onions and carrots. Cut cabbage into small pieces. Slice carrots and celery. Chop tomatoes and bell pepper.
Step 2: Cook the Base
  1. Place a large pot on medium heat. Add a little oil or spray (optional). Put onions, garlic, and carrots in the pot. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until they start to smell good.
Step 3: Add More Vegetables
  1. Add cabbage, celery, tomatoes, and bell pepper to the pot. Stir well so all vegetables mix together.
Step 4: Add Broth
  1. Pour in 6 cups of vegetable or chicken broth. If you don’t have broth, you can use water with a stock cube. Let the liquid come to a boil.
Step 5: Add Seasoning
  1. Add salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice. Stir well. Cover the pot with a lid.
Step 6: Simmer the Soup
  1. Turn the heat down to low. Let the soup cook slowly for 20–30 minutes. The vegetables should be soft but not mushy.
Step 7: Serve and Store
  1. Serve the soup hot in bowls. If you have extra soup, let it cool and keep it in the fridge for 3–4 days. You can also freeze it for later use.
