Description

A quick, budget-friendly soup that is great for using up extra vegetables in your cabinet or fridge. Serving this with crusty bread makes a great warming meal in wintertime. Add beef or chicken in with the vegetables for a heartier meal option.

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 onion, chopped
3 potatoes, diced
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups water
2 cubes chicken bouillon
1/2 head cabbage, finely chopped
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes with basil, undrained and chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

1 Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, potatoes, celery, and garlic in melted butter until the onion and celery are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour water over vegetable mixture; stir chicken bouillon into mixture until dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil; cook at a boil until potatoes are fork-tender, about 5 minutes.
2 Stir cabbage into boiling mixture. Reduce heat to medium. Add tomatoes with juices, ketchup, hot sauce, and Italian seasoning; stir to combine. Allow mixture to simmer until flavors have a chance to mix, about 15 minutes.
