- Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by prepping the vegetables. Roughly chop the cabbage, peel and cube the yellow potatoes, dice the carrots, chop the tomatoes, and finely chop the onion.

- Pour in the Broth and Water: Once the veggies start to soften, pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and water, bringing the pot to a gentle boil.
- In Goes the Cabbage: When the soup reaches a boil, carefully add the roughly chopped cabbage into the pot. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors are beautifully melded.
- Season and Garnish: Season the soup with salt and pepper to your taste preferences. Finally, stir in the freshly chopped dill and parsley, allowing their fresh aroma to infuse into the soup.
