Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Finely Chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
  • 1 whole Large Onion, Finely Chopped
  • 1 can (28 Oz. Size) Crushed Tomatoes
  • 3 whole Medium Carrots, Roughly Chopped
  • 2 stalks Celery, Roughly Chopped
  • 2 whole Turnips, Roughly Chopped
  • 1/4 heads Cabbage, Roughly Chopped
  • 7 cups Vegetable Broth
  • Other Dried Herbs Like Basil, Oregano And Parsley, To Taste
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Method

  • In a large pot over high heat, add oil, garlic, dried thyme and onions. Cook for 4-6 minutes until onions soften and become clear. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir. Add everything else: carrots, celery, turnips, cabbage, vegetable broth and dried herbs. Season with a little salt and bring to boil.
  • Once it's boiling, lower heat to a simmer, cover the pot and cook for an hour. Check on your soup once in a while and stir to make sure veggies aren't burning at the bottom of the pot. Before serving, taste it and season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Can also be served with some fresh chopped parsley and Saltines.
