What makes this Mexican Soup so nutritious?
According to the sources linked in this post the vegetables used in this soup offer an array of benefits. I have linked several of them here for you to read and consider making this soup. The chayote in this soup packs a ton of vitamins and minerals especially vitamin C. While the white corn brings potassium, calcium and iron. The carrots contribute a great amount vitamin A that is known to improve vision. Onions offer a great deal of anti-inflammatory properties. Whilst the potatoes promote digestion and good sleep. The cooked cabbage offers vitamin K which is required by our body to regulate calcium levels. And finally the chickpeas offer a good source of plant based protein offering a good 11 grams per cup. Let’s begin shall we!
Mexican Vegan Soup with Chickpeas
Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup Cubed Yellow Onion
- 1 Whole White Corn Cob color is optional
- 1 Medium Cabbage
- 2 Medium Carrots
- 4 Small Potatoes
- 1 Whole Chayote or squash of choice
- 2 Cloves Garlic

Instructions
- Chop your vegetables in thick slices if desired personally I do about 2 to 3 inches thick.
- In medium heat on your stove water suate onions for 2 minutes then add minced garlic and saute 30 seconds more.
- Add your drained chickpeas and veggies.
- Followed by the 2 cubes of Not Beef
- Add 1 Cup of tomato sauce and stir around to evenly combine.
