Recipes Part V: Cabbage Soup (jul 23, 2007)

This is an actual diet recipe. I remember my mom making this one a long time ago, and I found it again online. It's supposed to really help clean out your system and help you burn fat. It's super low on calories, and high in fiber. And it's not bad! It reminds me of cabbage borsht, without the sausage.


Cabbage Soup


Ingredients
1 head of cabbage
2 onions
2 green peppers
1 celery
1 can of peeled tomatoes
2 vegetable bouillon cubes


Chop all the vegetables in small pieces, and put them in a pot with the bouillon and enough water to completely cover the vegetables.
Heat and boil for 10 to 20 minutes, until the vegetables are done.
Add any spices you like (I really like pepper, but you can add whatever. Just try not to add too much salt)
Makes about 15-17 cups of soup. Estimated at 10 servings of 1.5 cups each
