Instructions
Heat the oil in a large stock pot or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for 1 minute, until the herbs are fragrant. Stir in the cabbage and mushrooms. Cook for 2 minutes, until the cabbage starts to soften, stirring frequently.
Add the crushed tomatoes and 2 cups of the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the zucchini and simmer for 5 minutes. For a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth if desired.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Top with parsley, if using, and serve.
