Chickpea Soup with Cabbage, Tomatoes & Basil

January 19, 2016

This chickpea soup is packed with protein and fiber.

Yesterday I posted a recipe for a simple roasted cabbage with lemon yogurt sauce for dipping. I had some leftover cabbage so I decided to make a chickpea soup with cabbage and tomatoes.

Do you remember back in the day when the cabbage soup diet was all the rage? All you ate was cabbage soup three times a day. Not very healthy. I never tried it, but I do understand why it works so well.

Cabbage is full of fiber and fiber fills you up. Cabbage is also high in vitamin C and as I mentioned yesterday, full of a natural ingredient called glucosinolates.

Glucosinolates have been found to have a positive impact on health, and cruciferous vegetables like cabbage that contain glucosinolates, can help reduce your risk for chronic disease.

Chickpeas are also loaded with health benefits like lots of protein, more fiber, manganese, and folate. Manganese and folate are crucial for a healthy gut which can have an effect on your mental health.

So this chickpea soup is just so good for you in so many ways! But something else I really like about this chickpea soup are the pure delicious rustic flavors. Hope you enjoy this chickpea soup with cabbage and tomatoes as much as I did. Don't miss any of Ordinary Vegan's free recipes by signing up here .

  2. I want to make this today but my husband does not like garlic…are 4 cloves very necessary to the flavor of the soup?

  5. I’ve started making this with golden beets instead of dried tomatoes. Also delicious and nutritious, and a bit sweeter. One of my favorite soups.

  6. Just made it for lunch. Soooo yummy. I did not have basil so omitted it and I had crushed tomato not chopped so I used those. Added celery and carrot since they needed to be used and a dash of cayenne. My 13 yo daughter wants to run away with the rest of my pot.

“A few month’s ago I ordered your CBD oil on a whim and to be honest,  I didn’t really believe it could help me with my chronic pain. But since I started using the capsules, I’m a new person. At first I cut back on my opioids, but now I am almost opioid free for the first time in 10 years. Thank you so much!”

“Hi – I wanted to share my experience with your CBD capsules in hope that it helps others. I have suffered with depression and anxiety on and off since the 70s. I am now 65. The happy tablets just didn’t seem to work anymore then someone mentioned CBD Oil. I have never looked back since taking it. Besides it changed my moods it also got rid of back pain I had. But basically I wake up in the morning feeling happy again :)”

“I received my CBD cream from Ordinary Vegan. My hands were in a lot of pain and I could not bend my fingers. I applied some and within about 35 min. I could bend them and the pain was gone. I used it sparingly but messaged it in good but gingerly. I love the color and the smell. It doesn’t smell medicinal.”

“I have suffered from severe chronic pain for over 20 years. Got addicted to pain meds and took Acetaminophen daily for 20 years until it led to a severe ulcer.

I am a new man. Thank you!”

Testimonial 14

“I have a very rare, incurable and untreatable disease called Mitochondrial Disease. I had been bedridden for the last 4 years. I started CBD oil hoping to get some relief for my symptoms and what I ended up getting was my life back. I can still hardly believe it. We are all stunned, including my doctors. I can sit up, talk, walk and have even started exercising to try and regain muscle and endurance. For the first time in over 4 years I have hope. Please, please help move CBD forward. Its the only thing that has helped me. The only thing.”
