Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic
  • 8 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 head cabbage, chopped into 1 1/2-inch chunks
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 3 ribs celery, sliced thinly
  • 2 cups fresh chopped tomatoes

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the onions and granulated garlic.

Cook until the onions become translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Add the Vegetables and Simmer

Stir in the broth, table salt, thyme, black pepper, cabbage, carrots, celery, and tomatoes.

Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. It pairs wonderfully with a slice of crusty bread.
