Instructions

Sauté Vegetables: Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped carrots, diced onion, diced celery, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Add Vinegar and Tomatoes: Stir in the white wine vinegar to the sautéed vegetables, followed by the fire-roasted diced tomatoes. Mix well to combine all flavors.
Combine Remaining Ingredients: Add the vegetable broth, drained and rinsed white beans, grated garlic, diced potatoes, chopped cabbage, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir everything together thoroughly.
Simmer the Soup: Cover the pot and simmer the soup for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and cabbage are tender and cooked through.
Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy with crusty bread for a complete meal.

Notes

Use fire-roasted diced tomatoes for a deeper, smoky flavor in the soup.
White beans add protein and creaminess, making the soup more filling and nutritious.
Simmering times may vary slightly depending on the size of your vegetable cuts and stove strength.
Feel free to add other herbs like bay leaves or rosemary for additional aroma.
Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 4 days and can be frozen for longer storage.
