Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots, celery, and diced potato to the pot. Sauté for 5–6 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.
Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it begins to wilt.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes (including juices). Stir to combine.
Add the paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, bay leaf, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well.
Raise the heat to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer gently for 30–35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the vegetables for tenderness with a fork. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your comforting old-fashioned cabbage soup!
