From Eating Bird Food. Love her website and food. Used less cabbage. Half. So good. Love the Apple as the sweetener, and the cinnamon. Yum.

- 3 large carrots peeled and chopped, about 1 ½ cups
- 2 stalks celery chopped, about 1 cup
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery, stirring occasionally until veggies have softened and are fragrant, about 7 minutes.

- Add vegetable broth, applesauce, canned tomatoes and cabbage and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until cabbage is thoroughly cooked and tender.
- Remove from heat, remove bay leaf and stir in the remaining apple cider vinegar. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, if needed. Serve warm topped with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Storage: You can keep this soup in the fridge for 5–7 days in an airtight container or freeze it for up to 3 months. When ready to reheat, warm it on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through.
- Substitutions: If you don't have apple cider vinegar to deglaze your pot, you can use white vinegar or lemon juice instead.
