1 celery rib, chopped |
1 medium carrot, diced |
1 parsnip, peeled and diced |
green beans, ends trimmed and chopped (a handful) |
1 large potato, peeled and diced |
2 cups cored thinly sliced green cabbage |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
8 cups beef stock |
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave (or 1/2 t. dried) |
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste |
