- 1 cup carrots about 2-3 medium size, diced
- 1 cup celery about 2-3 stalks, diced
- 3 cloves fresh garlic pressed or minced

- Add the thyme, salt and pepper and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.Add the tomatoes, vegetable stock, potatoes and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer, add the cabbage and vinegar, cook for about 25 minutes until the potatoes and cabbage are tender.
- Season with salt and pepper if needed, serve with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Chop all vegetables to a similar size (about half-inch dice) for even cooking.
- Don't skip the vinegar. It brightens the soup without being noticeable.
- Red potatoes hold their shape best, but Yukon Golds work too.
- Start checking vegetables around 20 minutes. They should be tender but not mushy.
- Add cooked ground beef, sausage, or shredded chicken for extra protein.
- Stir in white beans or chickpeas for a vegetarian protein boost.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. Flavors deepen overnight.
- Freezes well for up to 3 months. Potatoes may soften slightly after thawing.
- Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of broth if the soup has thickened.
- Serve with crusty bread, garlic bread, or a drizzle of olive oil and parmesan.
