Chickpea and Cabbage Soup – a light dish when you need a break from concentrated food.
Any soup containing chickpeas (garbanzo beans) that I tried up to now was a success. So was this Chickpea and Cabbage Soup. It seems you cannot go wrong with chickpeas :o) This time I wanted to make cabbage soup in some different way then I usually do (with tomatoes) so I combined it with chickpeas, corn, carrot and peas. Instead of noodles, I added some rolled oats to thicken a soup. Dill was a good choice of herb, in my opinion. If you don’t like dill, you can replace it with thyme or parsley or some other herb you like.
