Start by preparing all the vegetables: shred the cabbage, dice the onions, slice the carrots, celery, and zucchini into thin rounds, and chop the tomatoes into small cubes.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and garlic to the pot and sautΓ© for 3-4 minutes, until they are fragrant and translucent.
Add the carrots, celery, zucchini, and chopped tomatoes to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the shredded cabbage and mix well so all vegetables combine evenly.
Pour in the unsalted vegetable stock and water, and give it a good stir.
Add the bay leaf, fresh thyme, and ground black pepper for seasoning. Stir well to distribute the flavors.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional black pepper or fresh herbs if desired (avoid adding salt to keep it low sodium).
Before serving, remove the bay leaf and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy this wholesome low-sodium cabbage soup warm as a main dish or a starter.
