    1/2 head green cabbage 1 Tbsp (15 mL) coconut oil 1 large yam, peeled and cut into 1/4 in (0.5 cm) cubes 2 Tbsp (30 mL) curry powder 3 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 large yellow onion, thinly sliced 2 cups (500 mL) cooked chickpeas 5 cups (1.25 L) vegetable broth 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt 1/2 cup (125 mL) light coconut milk Fresh cilantro, chopped, as garnish Lime wedges, as garnish

    Remove any ragged outer leaves from cabbage, then core and slice into pencil-thin ribbons.

    Put oil in large, heavy-bottomed pot and warm over medium heat. Add yam cubes, cover with lid, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 7 minutes.

    Uncover; stir in curry powder, garlic, onion, and chickpeas; and cook another 2 minutes. Pour broth over vegetables and stir in salt. Bring to simmer and stir in cabbage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage softens, about 2 minutes. Remove soup from heat, stir in coconut milk, and ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges so diners can choose to add a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

    Serves 8.
