Ingredients
Scale

- 3 stalks celery, sliced
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes (with juice)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Slice the carrots and celery into even pieces, then chop the cabbage into 1-inch chunks.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a small amount of vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 5 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant.

- Add the Tomatoes: Pour in the diced tomatoes with juice, stirring to mix everything together. The tomatoes add richness and depth to the broth.
- Simmer Until Tender: Increase heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Taste and Adjust Seasoning : Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding extra salt, pepper, or herbs to match your preference.
