1 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated
1 tablespoon turmeric
2 teaspoons cumin
3 teaspoons curry
5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced or pressed
2 15–ounce cans black beans (3 cups), rinsed
3–4cups vegetable broth
1cup light coconut milk
Instructions
Pour one tablespoon of olive oil to a large stock or soup pot (6-8 quarts) and place over medium heat.
Add chopped onions, reduce heat to medium low and sauté just until they begin to soften.
After a few minute, add the cabbage and carrots and continue to sauté for another 3-5 minutes. Add more olive oil if needed.
Once the veggies begin to soften, add the ginger through garlic and continue to cook over medium low for 2-3 minutes, allowing the seasonings to coat the veggies. Enjoy the aromas!
Next add the beans and broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Finally add the coconut milk and heat through.
If you like more broth in your soups, add the additional cup of veggie broth.
