Begin by preparing your vegetables: dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, slice the carrots and celery, chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, and cube the potatoes.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced carrots and celery, and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to begin softening.
Add the chopped cabbage to the pot and stir to combine with the other vegetables. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the can of diced tomatoes, including their juices, to the pot.
Add the cubed potatoes, bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the stew simmer for approximately 45 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and flavors have melded.
Occasionally stir the stew and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Once the stew is cooked and vegetables are tender, remove the bay leaf and discard.
Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving for a fresh finish.
Serve the hearty cabbage stew hot, with crusty bread on the side if desired.
