Follow these simple steps to prepare your Slimming Cabbage Detox Soup:

1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, sauté the onion, carrots, and celery over medium heat until softened, which should take about 5 minutes.
2. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes with their juice, and vegetable broth. Add in the thyme, basil, salt, and pepper.
4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer a spicy kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce.
6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm.
