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

Pro tip: Ensure the oil is shimmering before adding vegetables.

Sauté vegetables

Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Add carrots and celery

Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Add cabbage

Add the shredded Savoy cabbage to the pot, stirring well to combine.

Pro tip: Let the cabbage wilt slightly before adding liquids.

Pour in broth and tomatoes

Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes, then add bay leaves and thyme.

Pro tip: Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any stuck bits, enhancing flavour.

Simmer

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.

Pro tip: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
