I wanted a yummy, hearty soup for this cold day, something cabbagy and beany, and with a little flavor kick. So I came up with this - pretty tasty!
Ingredients:
1/4 head Cabbage - chopped
1 large Onions - chopped
2 cups Celery - greens included, chopped
3 lg Carrot - cut into rounds
1 cup Red Bell Pepper - chopped
2 cups Chick Peas (Cooked)
1 28 oz Hunt's - Whole Peeled Plum Tomatoes - No Salt Added
2 cups Water
2 pkt Swanson - Flavor Boost - Vegetable
2 tsp Ground Cumin
Directions:
place cabbage and onions in pot, add enough water to cover the veggies - about 2 cups, put on simmer while you cut the other veggies
cut and add celery (use the greens, too - lots of nutrition and flavor) and carrots
add chopped red pepper and Flavor Booster packets
when the veggies are almost tender, add the canned tomatoes - add the liquid first, then crush the tomatoes in your hand and drop them in the pot, including whatever liquid they contain
add the cumin, and sea salt and ground black pepper to taste - you could also add crushed red pepper, or serve it at the table as a condiment
