Classic Cabbage Soup Diet recipe filled with flavors, textures, herbs and spices. Hearty, filling and savory soup that’s easy to make and perfect for healthy eating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups beef broth or vegetable stock (use vegetable stock for Zero PersonalPoints on Weight Watchers)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 3 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 small yellow onions diced
  • 1 medium head cabbage, core removed and chopped into 1–2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup tomatoes diced
  • 3 stalks celery sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1 orange bell pepper diced

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add diced onions, all three bell peppers, and tomatoes. Cook on medium-high heat for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are translucent and peppers begin to soften with light browning.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, fresh thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly to coat vegetables and cook for additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 3 cups beef broth or vegetable stock. Scrape bottom of pot with wooden spoon to release any flavorful bits.
  5. Add all chopped cabbage to the pot. Increase heat until soup comes to a rolling boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until cabbage is tender but still has slight bite. Test with fork for doneness.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use vegetable stock instead of beef broth for a vegetarian version and Zero PersonalPoints on Weight Watchers. Adding meat will disqualify this as a zero point meal.
  • Soup stays fresh in refrigerator for 7-10 days and flavors blend together beautifully as it sits. Can add carrots, sweet potatoes, or kale for variation.
  • Use fire-roasted tomatoes for extra depth of flavor. Can be frozen for up to 3 months in airtight containers.
  • Recipe yields approximately 10-12 cups of soup. Adjust serving size based on your needs.
