Low-Sodium Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe All Fresh image

The Cabbage Diet Soup is a long time known great soup. However, recently, I have been trying to keep the sodium down in all my cooking to keep the blood pressure in check. When I looked at how much salt was in this recipe the way it was made, I realized that I could cut it down dramatically. But, would it taste as good??? (I think so...)
