Instructions
Add the onions and the olive oil to a large pan and soften them on medium heat.Then add all the vegetables except the cabbage. That will only go in towards the end, so it won't boil into mushy pieces. Let them soften for a few minutes.(If you are in a rush, just add all the veg minus the cabbage at the same time.)
Add the paprika and mix well until all the vegetables are covered and it's fragrant. Next: all the spices followed by the tomato puree. Again, mix well.Add the broth and the herbs.Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
