• 1 tsp olive oil

• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)

• ½ tsp black pepper

🍲 Instructions

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

2. Add Vegetables
   Stir in the cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

   Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice) and vegetable broth. Add the onion soup mix (if using), salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and basil.

4. Simmer
   Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30–40 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

5. Adjust Seasoning
   Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Add chili flakes for extra heat if you like it spicy.

6. Serve
   Enjoy warm! This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for later use.
