Description
A hearty soup with green cabbage, cannellini beans, and a touch of Parmesan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 6 cups chopped green cabbage (about 1 small head)
- 1 (15-ounce / 425g) can low-sodium cannellini beans, rinsed
- 6 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (use vegetarian Parmesan if needed)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–6 minutes or until slightly softened.
- Stir in beans and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together Parmesan, lemon juice, egg, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
- Remove soup from heat. Slowly drizzle in the egg mixture, stirring constantly to avoid curdling.
- Return soup to low heat and stir gently for 2–3 minutes to allow the soup to thicken slightly.
- Serve hot with additional Parmesan, if desired.
Notes
- This soup can be made vegetarian by using vegetable broth and vegetarian Parmesan.
- For a heartier version, add more beans or serve with crusty bread.
