Country- French Vegetable Soup

To make this soup you will need the following:
2 tsp olive oil
2 cups chopped green cabbage
1 cup each-chopped onion, carrot, celery, red potato(diced)
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 cup water
4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup drained canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 Tbsp each- minced parsley & dill
black pepper to taste.
I think I also put in some thyme. 1 tsp?

Heat oil in Dutch oven. Add veggies & caraway seeds, and thyme. Saute for a couple minutes. Add water & vegetable stock. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes.
Add chickpeas, parsley, dill, and pepper. Cook until thoroughly heated. This will serve 4 people. Of course I doubled the recipe for our family.
This is such an excellent vegetarian soup. I tried out quite a few vegetarian meals during lent, and this is one that I will be making again, soon.
Delicious. We served the soup with some homemade soft pretzels that Gregory made. mmmGregory also grilled some farmers sausage. It smelled so good.
