Cabbage Soup Diet

Many years ago I heard about this cabbage soup diet, and tried it out. Not only does it taste delicious, but it's the perfect remedy to reduce bloating, and lose weight quickly! Cabbage is high in fiber, and the other vegetables in this recipe contain vitamins A, B, C, D, and K. The soup is enough for seven days and is a great way to lose weight immediately for a special occasion. I prefer to use all organic ingredients for this yummy soup. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 6 large green onions (also called "spring" onions)
• 2 green peppers
• 1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)
• 3 carrots
• 1 container of mushrooms
• 1 bunch of celery
• half a head of cabbage, or more
• 1 package spice only soup mix (optional)
• 1 cube of low sodium bouillon
• 1 48 oz can low sodium V-8 juice (optional)
• Season to taste with pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder (little to no salt)

Directions:

Slice green onions, put in a pot on medium heat and start to saute with cooking spray. Do this until onions about 4-6 minutes.

Cut green pepper stem end off, then cut pepper in half to take out the seeds and membrane. Cut the green pepper into bite size pieces, add to pot.

Take the outer leafs layer off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.

Clean carrots, mushrooms, and celery, cut into bite size pieces and toss them in. Add tomatoes now, too.

If you prefer a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.

For seasonings, you can use a spice soup packet of your choice, or use beef or chicken bouillon cubes. These cubes are optional, and you can add spices you like instead. 

Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the 48 oz of low sodium V8 juice) cover and put heat on low. Let soup simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until vegetables are tender.
