Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 celery stalks, chopped
  • 5 carrots, chopped
  • 3 onions, chopped
  • 2 green bell peppers, diced
  • 1 large head green cabbage, chopped
  • 1 (15 oz) can cut green beans, drained
  • 2 quarts tomato juice
  • 2 (16 oz) cans whole peeled tomatoes with liquid
  • 1 (14 oz) can beef stock (or vegetable broth)
  • 4 to 6 cups cold water, or enough to cover vegetables
  • 1 (1 oz) packet dry onion soup mix

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Ensure everything is roughly the same size for even cooking. This takes about 20-25 minutes.
  2. Add all chopped vegetables (celery, carrots, onions, cabbage, bell peppers, and drained green beans) into a large soup pot (at least 6-quart capacity).
  3. Pour in tomato juice, add canned tomatoes with liquid, and pour in beef stock. Add 4-6 cups cold water to completely cover vegetables. Sprinkle onion soup mix over everything and stir well to distribute seasoning.
  4. Place pot over medium heat and bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer gently for about 25 minutes until vegetables are fork-tender but still hold their shape. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Taste before serving and adjust salt only if needed, as onion soup mix is already quite salty.
  5. Once vegetables are tender and flavors have melded, remove from heat. Ladle into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

  • For vegetarian version, replace beef stock with vegetable broth or mushroom stock for savory depth.
  • Substitute onion soup mix with 2 tablespoons onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to avoid artificial additives.
  • Use fresh green cabbage for best texture. Pre-shredded cabbage can become too soft.
  • Fresh green beans can be used but will need an extra 10 minutes cooking time.
  • Soup stores well in refrigerator for up to 5 days and freezes for up to 3 months.
  • While often called fat burning soup, weight loss results from the low calorie content and high fiber, not from special fat-burning properties.
  • For thicker soup, mash some vegetables with the back of a spoon or simmer longer uncovered.
