Instructions
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery, stirring occasionally until veggies have softened and are fragrant, about 7 minutes.
Stir in garlic, thyme, cinnamon (if using), bay leaf, salt and pepper and cook for 1-2 additional minutes. Add 1 Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pot.
Add vegetable broth, applesauce, canned tomatoes and cabbage and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until cabbage is thoroughly cooked and tender.
Remove from heat, remove bay leaf and stir in the remaining apple cider vinegar. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, if needed. Serve warm topped with fresh parsley.
