In a large pot over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Add half a cup of chopped onion, 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic, 1 cup of chopped celery, and 1 cup of sliced carrots to the pot.

Stir and let the mixture cook for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the chopped cabbage and stir to loosen it up.

Add 4 cups of vegetable stock and 3 cups of water to the pot.

Add 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried basil.

Stir the mixture, cover the pot, and let it come to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it cook for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, check the soup to ensure it tastes good and adjust seasoning if necessary.
