This reminds us of a soup “Mr. McGregor” (from the children’s fairytale) might make after a day of harvesting.  It is healthy, delicious and satisfying.  Even for a hot soup it makes a perfect light summery lunch.  It is basic, earthy and satisfying.

 

Ingredients: 

 

10 cups vegetable Broth 

1 cup fresh garbanzo beans  (or dried soaked in boiling water for 2 hours)

2 potatoes

6 carrots

6 celery stalks

1 small onion

1 cup shredded cabbage

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

fresh dill, thyme, oregano, cilantro (optional to taste)
