Tomato Cabbage Soup

My daughter recently asked me to show her how to make my tomato and cabbage soup. This soup was something I just usually tossed together and never measured until she came over and we made it together. It is a hearty; warm your innards kinda soup we enjoy in the fall and winter. This soup freezes well so I like to freeze it in individual portions for quick work lunches.

1 1/2 pound diced tomatoes

1 pound chopped cabbage

1/4 pound chopped carrots

1/4 pound chopped celery
