Healthy High Fiber Recipes
This is a great recipe to make for a high fiber light meal. It’s especially good after overindulging a bit during the holiday season, especially when you have great things on the menu like turkey (or Tofurkey!), gravy, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. This soup is a great way to getting your veggies in, as well as some beans for plant-based protein.

What’s In This Vegan Cabbage Soup with Beans?
- Onion
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Carrots
- Celery
- Green Cabbage
- Diced Tomatoes: I only use no salt added diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on! I like boxed tomatoes better because they are BPA free and more eco-friendly than aluminum cans. If you haven’t read about the dangers of consuming foods stored in BPA cans, head over to Nutrition Facts to read more.
- Low Sodium White Beans: you can use these low sodium canned beans or make them yourself from dried beans. I usually always cook my beans from scratch as they have lower sodium and is really easy to do in the Instant Pot. If you do use canned beans, I would highly recommend using low or no sodium canned beans like these, which won’t alter the taste of this recipe. You can used any variety of cooked beans you have on hand: kidney, pinto, or black beans would work just fine, make sure they are low sodium!
- Reduced Sodium Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this low sodium vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium. I only develop my recipes with low sodium ingredients so the ingredients shine. You can always add salt to a recipe if it needs it, but it’s almost impossible to take it out! By starting with a low sodium broth or bouillon, you can build bright vibrant flavors and add more salt later if needed.
- Garlic Salt: for a little extra flavor than traditional salt. I like to use this garlic salt in my savory Italian dishes for that extra kick.
- Thyme – I used fresh thyme as we have it growing on our property, but this dried thyme would be a perfect substitute.
- Parsley
- Lemon Juice
How Do I Make This Bean and Cabbage Soup?
- To a large soup pot, add all ingredients except for the parsley. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook over low heat for about 45 minutes. The soup should be done when the cabbage and carrots are cooked all the way through.
- Stir in fresh parsley, and taste for seasoning (add more salt if needed). Enjoy!
