Add the onion studded with cloves, bouquet garni, celery, garlic, and a generous amount of coarse salt. Reduce to a very gentle simmer (just barely bubbling) and cook for 1½ hours.

Add carrots, parsnips, leeks, and potatoes. Continue to simmer gently for 30 minutes. Add cabbage and cook 15 more minutes until all vegetables are completely tender but not falling apart.
