Vegan Mexican Black Bean and Cabbage Soup image

I love the combination of cabbage and black beans. My toddler will eat any kind of bean, so this is a great way to sneak in protein and colorful veggies! Feel free to vary the vegetable combination based on what you like, or have on hand. This is a great soup for meatless Mondays. Serve topped with shredded cheddar, and warmed corn tortillas.

Categories Soup/Stew Vegetable Stew Low Fat Vegetarian Low Cal Wheat/Gluten-Free Dinner Healthy

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 yellow onion, cut into ½ moons
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
½ jalapeno, minced
5 carrots cut into slices
6 cups of chopped up cabbage
1 large zucchini, cut into chunks
A few handfuls of baby spinach
½ cup of frozen peas
6 cups of chicken broth
1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
Juice of one lime
2 tsp of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Pre-cooked shredded chicken & avocado

Steps:

In a large pot heat olive oil over medium high heat and add onions along with a pinch of salt. Allow the onions to cook for about 4-5 minutes or until translucent. Stir in jalapeno, carrots, and garlic and cook another few minutes. You just want to give the veggies a head start before stirring in the cabbage. Combine all the veggies together before adding the broth and the tomatoes; turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once your soup is at a boil bring it down to a simmer and stir in zucchini and peas. Cook for just a couple more minutes before stirring in the spinach, cilantro and fresh lime juice. Adjust seasonings and serve yourself some soup!! Serving suggestion: I like to put a couple of ounces of pre-cooked shredded chicken at the bottom of my bowl before topping with the soup. Then I finish it off with some fresh avocado and an extra squish of limejuice SO GOOD! Makes a HUGE pot.

Tips:

Choose the right cabbage: Look for a firm, heavy head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves.
Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the soup.
Brown the meat before adding it to the soup: This will help develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
Use a flavorful broth: A good quality chicken or beef broth will add depth of flavor to the soup.
Season the soup well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and cumin to taste.
Add a splash of lime juice or vinegar before serving: This will brighten up the flavors of the soup and add a refreshing touch.
