In a large pot over high heat, add oil, garlic, dried thyme and onions. Cook for 4-6 minutes until onions softens and become clear. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir. Add everything else; carrots, celery, turnips, cabbage, vegetable broth and dried herbs. Season with a little salt and bring to boil.
Bring to boil, cover and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 25 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through. Check on your soup once in a while and stir to make sure veggies aren’t burning at the bottom of the pot.
Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
