• Salt and pepper to taste

3. Add the chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
4. Season with Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and salt and pepper.
5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
