How to make it
- Peel and finely dice the onion, carrots and celery. Heat the oil or margarine in a large soup pot over medium heat and sweat the vegetables for 6 to 8 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for about 1 minute to cook out the raw taste, then stir in the tomato sauce until evenly combined.
- Pour in the meat stock a little at a time while stirring to avoid lumps, then add the bay leaf and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes, add them to the pot, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Core the cabbage and shred it thinly, then stir it into the soup and continue simmering for 12 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cabbage is wilted.
- Discard the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper to taste, stir in the chopped parsley and serve hot.
