Directions:

  1. Place the water or broth, celery, potato, onion, carrot, bouillon granules, thyme, pepper, and bay leaves in a 4-quart pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  2. Add all of the remaining ingredients to the pot, and increase the heat to return the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 additional minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well blended.
  3. Remove the bay leaves from the soup, and discard. Ladle the soup into individual serving bowls, and serve hot.
