White cabbage should be considered essential to our food diet, because it is a good natural anti-inflammatory and it is also rich of iron, calcium and fiber.
This is an original and very tasty soup that you can try in these cold evenings. I often add legumes to my soups because my son doesn’t eat meat a lot. So you can try to prepare the white cabbage soup without chickpeas, but it will become a less creamy soup. It’s up to you.
