By cooksalot

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 carrots, chopped
• 3 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 small head of green cabbage, chopped
• 1 potato, chopped
• 8 cups broth, veggie, chicken or beef or a combination of any
• 1 16 oz tomato sauce
• 1 TBSP fresh Parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 cans pinto beans, drained
• salsa, your favorite
• French Bread, optional but very traditional!

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
Saute your onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and then add your chopped cabbage. Stir it around for a few minutes, add your broth, tomato sauce, and ALL seasonings (including the fresh parsley). Stir it all together and bring it to a boil, then reduce and let it simmer for 1 hour. That's it! I add my beans to the soup in the last 15 minutes although traditionally, they would serve them separately in a bowl along with the salsa in a different bowl and you would add them to your individual bowl of soup when it's served on the table.
