SKINNY CABBAGE SOUP



Skinny Cabbage Soup image

Many credit soup for being their weight loss secret. I intended to make a skinny soup that could aid by filling me up so I would eat less of my main course. Well, this soup has evolved so much, I don't even eat the main course. So incredibly hearty, wholesome, and filling! It's a beautiful soup with many colors and also freezes well. I hope you enjoy. I would love to know of any modifications so I can try that next time.

SKINNY CABBAGE SOUP

An excellent "diet" soup, this can be eaten in large serving sizes without adding many calories to the diet; yet it still has the protein factor of the beef. It can also be made with part tomato or V-8 juice if desired. In this batch, I used 3 1/2 cups chicken stock and 6 ounces V-8 juice. If you are not too worried about carbs,...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb lean steak or leftover lean beef
olive oil cooking spray
2 medium carrots, grated
1 stalk(s) celery, thinly sliced
1 qt chicken or beef stock (or water)
2 medium roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 head green cabbage, roughly shredded
2-3 pinch salt and pepper
1/2 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
1 bunch green onions, trimmed and sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Slice steak very thinly and sauté it in some olive oil spray in a dutch oven. If using leftover cooked beef, just shred and warm it with a little olive oil spray in the dutch oven.
  • 2. Add the carrots and celery and 1 cup of the stock to the pot. Bring to a boil; lower heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
  • 3. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Continue to simmer the soup for about 30-45 minutes, until cabbage is done to your liking. Stir occasionally to make sure all the cabbage cooks evenly. Season to taste with extra salt, pepper, or rosemary as desired.
  • 4. Serve topped with fresh sliced green onions. I do this as I do not like the flavor of large onions cooked with cabbage, but I do like the bite of green onions.
