Author Notes
This really should be called “cream” of cabbage soup, as there’s no cream to be found in this recipe. The base gets its creaminess from pureeing a mixture of chick peas and vegetables, and from the addition of a little 2% milk. The already vegetarian soup can be easily made vegan by swapping the milk for almond or coconut milk. This is a soup you can feel good about eating ! —SugarnStuff

Directions

To a large frying pan over medium heat, add olive oil, leeks, carrot, garlic and cabbage. Cook until vegetables are soft, using the addition of some broth if the pan gets too dry. Add tomatoes. Give this mixture a few grinds of pepper and sea salt to taste.

In a large saucepan, combine chickpeas, broth and 2 cups of the cooked cabbage mixture. Use a stick blender to puree this mixture until smooth. Add milk and stir to combine. Gradually increase heat to simmer. Add remaining cabbage mixture and the dill, season with more salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with more dill if desired.
