Prepare the Soup: In a large pot, combine the chopped cabbage, onions, green peppers, celery, and tomatoes. Add the water and bring it to a boil.
Simmer the Soup: Once the soup is boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until all the vegetables are tender.
Season: Add salt, pepper, and the optional onion soup mix or tomato soup for extra flavor. You can also add herbs like parsley or basil to enhance the taste.
Serve: Once the soup is ready, serve hot. You can store any leftovers in the fridge for a few days.
