Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they begin to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped bell peppers to the pot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage, undrained diced tomatoes, broth, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for at least 20-30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
- Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
