Tips

NoteThe mountain of cabbage shrinks fast \u2014 trust the pot.

NoteFire-roasted tomatoes are worth hunting down; regular ones make a flatter broth.

NoteAdd the parsley off the heat so it stays green.

Frequently asked

Can I use savoy or napa cabbage?+

Green cabbage holds up best in the simmer; more delicate types turn to silk long before the potatoes are done.

Can I make it heartier?+

The white beans are already doing that job; a handful of small pasta is the only upgrade it needs.

Is it very vinegary?+

No \u2014 two tablespoons across a whole pot just keeps the tomatoes bright; you will not taste it directly.
