Cook the ground beef, garlic and onion in a large pot, over medium-high heat, stirring and crumbling the ground beef. When the beef is browned, after about 8 minutes, drain/discard fat; add carrots, celery and water. Increase heat to high; add diced and crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover. Once the soup is boiling, stir; reduce heat to medium; simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, until carrots are tender. Taste; adjust the salt, as needed. Stir in the cabbage; simmer a few minutes, just until the cabbage has wilted.

Serve topped with your favorite cheese, if desired.

10-12 servings.

*The soup freezes well and can be reheated in the microwave straight from the freezer or allowed to thaw in the refrigerator and then reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
