Spicy Hot Cabbage Soup image

This soup was served in my college student union and was a hit with starving college students as it's big on flavor while using only frugal ingredients. I was never able to wheedle the recipe from the cooks, but this is a very close clone of it. It's a super diet recipe as it has a spicy kick that other cabbage soup recipes don't. I think diets fail more from lack of flavor than from hunger pangs! Also, it's the first soup I think of at the first sign of a cold as this one warms you from the inside out. With a toasted cheese sandwich and a hot cup of tea with honey, it's better than penicillin!

Yield 3 quarts, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small green cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1/2 lb fresh carrot, peeled and diced
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 teaspoon salt (or salt substitute)
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons light olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop veggies and add to a large soup pot along with tomatoes and juice.
  • Add salt or salt substitute, pepper, and oil if desired.
  • Add enough water to cover the veggies by an inch or two.
  • Bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook for an hour or until cabbage is very soft and translucent.
