Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
  • ½ medium head of cabbage, shredded
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 small onion, chopped (optional for extra flavor)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, oregano, or Italian seasoning)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Peel potatoes and carrot. Slice the celery and shred the cabbage finely for better texture.
  2. Sauté aromatics: In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly translucent.
  3. Add vegetables: Stir in potatoes, carrot, bell pepper, celery, and cabbage. Cook for another 5 minutes to let the veggies begin to soften.
  4. Add broth and seasoning: Pour in the vegetable broth or water. Season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs of your choice. Bring the soup to a boil.
  5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 25–30 minutes or until all vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended.
  6. Taste and adjust: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. For a thicker consistency, mash some of the potatoes gently with a spoon.
  7. Serve: Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
