    1. Prep all the vegetables — wash and trim them as needed. 2. Cut the potatoes and the other vegetables into batons, and the tomato into cubes. 3. Fill a 2- to 2.5-quart pot a little over halfway with water and add a little salt. Cook the potatoes there until about halfway done. If you like a richer vegetable broth, add half the parsnip and carrot to the potatoes. 4. While the potatoes cook, sauté all the remaining vegetables — except the tomato and cabbage — until softened. Add the tomato and tomato paste, stir, and let simmer over the lowest heat for 2-4 minutes. 5. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the half-cooked potatoes and cook a couple of minutes more. 6. Then add the pre-shredded napa cabbage. 7. Add the peppercorns, bay leaves, and coriander. Adjust the salt. Serve hot and enjoy!
