  • 1 tablespoon whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup coleslaw mix

  1. Slice the black olives. Rinse the chickpeas.
  2. Layer all ingredients in the order listed in a 16-ounce glass jar.
  3. Refrigerate until ready to prepare and serve.

Helpful hints

  • If you use a wide-mouth jar you can eat the soup directly from the jar—no bowl needed.
  • Serve with low-salt crackers or your favorite roll or bread.
  • Reduced-sodium olives are available online if you do not find them in the grocery store.
  • Whole milk ricotta cheese adds creaminess to the soup and is lower in sodium than low fat or skim ricotta cheese.
  • For an extra flavor boost, add a dollop of pesto. See the DaVita Basil Pesto recipe.
