The "Naked" Minestrone

This is my first recipe from The Naked Chef book that I got for Christmas. Although I followed it fairly closely, my soup turned out as a thick stew. Delicious stew, though. (Next time: more stock, less heat.)

Start by sauteing celery, carrots, leeks, onions, garlic, and rosemary in olive oil until tender (15 min approximately). Add tomatoes and cook for a few minutes. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 min. Add cabbage, cover, and simmer for 10 more minutes.

- 5 celery ribs
- 2 carrots

- 2 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1.5 Tbsp rosemary, chopped

- 1/2 cabbage
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups stock (ham, chicken, veg)
