Cabbage Soup Time!

Weight Loss Cabbage Soup Recipe

1 head cabbage, cut into 8 parts
2 cans diced tomatoes, no salt added
1 6 oz can sliced mushrooms
1 head celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 carrots, scraped & cut into 1 inch pieces
½ large bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
½ onion, cut into 1 inch dice
1 box chicken stock, no salt added, organic
1 6 oz can V-8 (low salt preferred)
1/4 cup dried parsley (diuretic)
1 tsp pepper flakes
1 tbsp rubbed thyme
¼ cup salt-free garlic and herb seasoning mix (like Mrs. Dash)
Water to cover

Put all the ingredients in a slow cooker for 4-6 hours, until the vegetables cook down. Take ½ the soup, one cup at a time, and put through a food processor or blender to add creaminess to the soup (optional).

Eat as much as you want, until the soup is gone. You can drop up to ten pounds if you don’t add bread or other carbs.
