Step 1

Washing Leeks: Slice off the root end and the dark green parts. Slice in half lengthwise. Run under cold running water, opening up the layers as you rinse to remove and dirt between the leaf sheaths. Lay on flat surface and cut into thin slices horizontally (widthwise).

Step 2

Saute: In a large dutch oven or stock pot, heat water/oil over medium to medium-high heat, add leeks, carrots and celery, saute for 5 minutes. Smells delicious already! Add garlic and spices, saute for 1 minute more or until fragrant.

Step 3

Add remaining ingredients: Add tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, beans, and veg broth.

Step 4

Simmer: Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 – 30 minutes, or until potatoes and cabbage are tender. Taste for seasoning adding salt & pepper as needed.
