Introduction

This is a low-calorie soup that is filling for a light supper. I like it with crusty bread if my carbs for the day will allow it. This is a low-calorie soup that is filling for a light supper. I like it with crusty bread if my carbs for the day will allow it.

Ingredients

    2 tbsp. Olive Oil
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
    4 cups water
    Vegetable or chicken bouillon, if desired
    2 cups shredded cabbage or slaw mix
    1 can White Kidney Beans (Cannellini Beans),
    drained and rinsed
    1 tbsp. dried sweet basil, or 2 tbsp. fresh
    Salt and pepper to taste

Tips

A variety of different herbs can be used to flavor this soup. I selected sweet basil because I always add vegetable bouillon powder to the water and basil seems to enhance it best. If using chicken bouillon, try cumin or tarragon or other herbs that complement the chicken flavoring.


Directions

1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and cook onion and carrot until the onion is translucent.
2. Add next five ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
3. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
