When you need a cozy soup recipe that comes together quick and easy, this white bean cabbage soup is sure to fit the bill.

Made with a rich tomato-base, it is hearty, filling and packed full of flavor. Plus each bowl contains 11 grams of plant-based protein! I like to serve it with a simple side salad and a loaf of crusty bread for a warm and comforting meal on a cold winter night.

White Bean Cabbage Soup Ingredients

  • Onion- Yellow onions are ideal for this recipe as they are mildest in flavor, although sweet or red onions would also work.
  • Carrots- Carrots add a subtle sweetness and texture to the soup. If you’re not a fan of carrots, feel free to substitute celery instead.
  • Cabbage- Both green or purple cabbage will work, just keep in mind purple cabbage will result in a different color than what you see pictured.
  • Herbs and Spices- The recipe calls for dried oregano, coriander (or cumin), and smoked paprika, however, feel free to adjust this to your liking. If you don’t like cilantro then you probably won’t like coriander so I suggest subbing it with cumin or leaving it out altogether.
  • Diced Tomatoes- Diced fire roasted tomatoes add texture and flavor to the soup. If you can’t find fire roasted, regular diced (or crushed tomatoes) will work the same.
  • Tomato Sauce- Just regular old pureed tomatoes is all we need for tomato sauce. While you could use a marinara, there is often unnecessary sugar and oil which we don’t need in our soup.
  • White Beans- Great northern or cannellini beans work perfectly.
