Instructions

Heat the Oil and Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the chopped carrots, diced onion, diced celery, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Add Remaining Ingredients and Simmer: Stir in the grated garlic, then add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, white beans, diced potatoes, chopped cabbage, and dried thyme. Cover the pot and simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and cabbage are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Season and Garnish: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread.

Notes

Using fire-roasted tomatoes adds a nice smoky depth to the soup, but regular diced tomatoes can be used as well.
For a heartier soup, add more beans or include cooked sausage or chicken if not vegetarian.
Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 4 days and freeze nicely for up to 3 months.
Customize the seasoning with additional herbs like bay leaf or smoked paprika if desired.
This soup can easily be made vegan if the broth used is vegetable-based and no animal products are added.
