Cabbage and white beans soup
Yesterday was rainy and I just wanted to stay on the couch watching TV. But I am an adult (or so I was told) and have things to do around the house. With 2 toddlers running around, doing nothing all day doesn’t fly. 🙄🙄
But comfort food was something I could do! I bought a cabbage last week but my husband doesn’t like it so wasn’t too sure what to do with it. After scrolling through Pinterest ( very useful app), I thought… a soup!!!! Made it up on the spot and it turned out awesome!
For anyone that has doubts… I also fail often (I am talking about you stupid muffins!).
This soup is healthy and comforting. I used chicken broth but you could totally use vegetable broth to make it vegan. The white beans are full of proteins and the fact that the soup is not blended makes it a meal by itself.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 tsp. Olive oil
- 1/2 White Onion (Chopped)
- 3 Garlic cloves (Chopped)
- 1/2 Cabbage ( cut in big pieces)
- 1 1/2 cup Carrots (Cut very small)
- 4 Medium potatoes (Cut in quarters)
- 1 can White beans (Drained)
- 1 can Tomato soup (Condensed version)
- 2 cup Chicken broth
- Salt and pepper (To taste)
Instructions
- In a big pot, heat up the olive oil on medium heat. Saute the onion until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the cabbage and cook until browned a little (it adds flavour to the soup).
- Add the beans, carrots, tomato soup, chicken broth, salt and pepper to the pot. Finish with about 4 cups of water (until it covers the vegetables).
- Simmer for about 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
