Prepare the vegetables
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife
Vegetable peeler
Kitchen scale

Prepare the vegetables as listed: weigh the potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and turnips, then cut them to the stated sizes; slice and rinse the leeks well, and chop the cabbage.

Wash sliced leeks thoroughly because dirt often hides between the layers.

Keep knife tips pointed down and fingers tucked when cutting firm root vegetables.

1 pound potato
12 ounces carrot
10 ounces parsnip
10 ounces turnip
1 pound leek
12 ounces green cabbage
2
Soften the leeks

Wooden spoon
Large soup pot

In a large soup pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat, then add the leeks and salt; cook for 5 minutes until softened.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound leek
1 teaspoon salt
3
Coat the root vegetables
Measuring Spoons
Wooden spoon
Large soup pot

Add the potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper; stir to coat and cook for 2 minutes.

2 Count bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Simmer the roots
Wooden spoon
Large soup pot
Measuring cup

Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer; cook for 20 minutes until the root vegetables are almost tender.

Simmer gently to prevent hot broth from splashing.

5
Add the cabbage
Wooden spoon
Large soup pot

Stir in the green cabbage and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and the potatoes are soft in the center.

Stir hot soup slowly to avoid splashing broth.

6
Finish and serve
