Cabbage Soup with White Beans & Chicken is an easy, nourishing, and mouth-watering soup everyone will enjoy. This one-pot recipe is gluten-free and one of my personal favorites!

Its definitely not soup weather around here, however, I am one of those people who can eat soup any time of the year! I happen to think its the best thing ever, ha! Not to mention the one-pot thing, yeah that’s the best, along with the leftovers, just makes life so easy!

Cabbage Soup with White Beans & Chicken has a taco soup flavor, is so filling, and absolutely delicious! Not to mention this is a super budget-friendly recipe! I am always so optimistic when I buy heads of cabbage, but they tend to sit in the fridge weeks before I ever decide to use them, haha! So before I head to the grocery store I try to use all the food about to wilt!

This cabbage soup is full of fresh and healthy veggies with the coziness that all chicken soups should have. Serve it with shredded cheese on top and avocado slices for a cool creamy texture.
