Witch's Soup

Cut vegetables such as cabbage, onion, carrot, tomato, bell pepper, and celery into bite-sized pieces.

Heat olive oil in a pot and sauté the onions until they become translucent.

Add the remaining vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

Pour in water or vegetable stock and bring to a boil.

Season with bay leaves, salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.

Simmer over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes until the vegetables are well cooked.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
