Instructions

Heat and Sauté: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped carrots, diced onion, celery, sea salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Add Vinegar and Tomatoes: Stir in the white wine vinegar, then add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, white beans, grated garlic, diced potatoes, chopped cabbage, and dried thyme.
Simmer the Soup: Cover the pot and simmer the soup for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and cabbage are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Season and Garnish: Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
Use vegetable broth with low sodium to better control salt levels.
If white beans are unavailable, cannellini or great northern beans are good substitutes.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and taste better after flavors meld.
To make it vegan, ensure your vegetable broth contains no animal-derived ingredients.
