Diet Chicken Cabbage Soup image

Just posting this recipe to figure out the calorie content...It is a very healthy, low cal, diet soup - fills me up when I'm starving, which seems to be mid afternoon for me. Also makes a great lunch. And it's super easy to make a huge batch and freeze for later.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 ounces frozen chicken (tenders)
1 onion, diced
1 1/2 tablespoons chicken base (or boullion)
10 cups water
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons bacon bits
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 red bell pepper, or
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 (16 ounce) package coleslaw mix, or (no dressing)
1 lb cabbage, chopped fine
1/4 cup grape juice, or
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 (15 ounce) cans white beans
salt and pepper
1/4 cup catsup

Steps:

  • Fill pot with water.
  • Add onions, garlic, chicken base, and frozen chicken.
  • Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes, until chicken tenders are cooked thru.
  • Remove tenders from pot and chop into smallish, bite sized pieces.
  • Put them back in the broth, and add everything else except the beans, catsup, and the salt & pepper.
  • Allow the pot to return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn down heat and simmer 15-20 minutes, until all the veggies are cooked thru.
  • Add the canned beans, partially drained (you want some of that liquid to thicken everything a tiny bit), and stir.
  • Taste test and add salt & pepper as needed.
  • If it seems bland, add the catsup at the end and stir well.
  • Serve hot with a little sprinkle of parmesan on top.
