Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, leeks, and garlic, and cook them gently until they soften and become fragrant. Next, toss in the celery and carrots, giving everything a good stir. Pour in the broth and tomato sauce, then add the black beans, cabbage, and potatoes. Sprinkle in the oregano, basil, black pepper, celery salt, cayenne pepper, and toss in the bay leaves. Bring the stew up to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 25 minutes, stirring now and then, until all the vegetables are tender. When you're ready to serve, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for a nice finishing touch.
