2 large carrots, sliced
2 bell peppers, any color, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
6 cups vegetable broth
1–2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: hot sauce for extra spice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients Chop the cabbage, onion, carrots, bell peppers, and celery. Mince the garlic. Ensure all ingredients are ready before you begin cooking to streamline the process.
Step 2: Sauté the Onion and Garlic In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until they become soft and fragrant, setting the flavor base for the soup.
Step 3: Add Vegetables Add the carrots, bell peppers, and celery to the pot. Continue to sauté the mixture for about 5 more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
Step 4: Combine Remaining Ingredients Mix in the chopped cabbage, canned diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir the combination thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Step 5: Season the Soup Season the mixture with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate the herbs and spices evenly throughout the soup.
Step 6: Simmer Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. During this time, the vegetables should become tender and the flavors well integrated.
Step 7: Final Adjustments Taste your soup and adjust the seasonings if needed. For those preferring a spicy kick, a few dashes of hot sauce can be added at this stage. Serve the soup warm.
