Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 medium sized white or yellow onion, chopped
  • 6-8 cloves of garlic, pressed
  • ½ a large head of cabbage, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 8 cups vegetable broth (if you prefer, chicken broth could be substituted)
  • 1 14.5 oz. can peeled and diced tomatoes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: cubed or torn day-old bread and additional olive oil
Instructions
  1. In a large stock-pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add onions and cook until translucent - about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and continue to cook until onion is slightly browned.
  2. Add remaining ingredients (except for bread and additional olive oil). Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook until carrots and cabbage are tender, about 20 minutes.
  3. To serve, ladle into bowls. Top with a handful of cubed or torn day-old bread and a drizzle of olive oil.
