Instructions

Step: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven/soup pot. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes or until the onions are softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Step: Add all remaining soup ingredients EXCEPT cabbage. Cover soup and bring to a boil. Uncover and reduce to a gentle simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Prep vegetables in advance to save time. For a less chunky soup, add additional broth. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
