So, because I ate whatever I wanted, I decided to eat cabbage soup for dinner. Jo--also a co-author of this blog, who may someday post--when she stops being up to her ears in house selling and house buying--send me the recipe. I four times'd it.
CABBAGE SOUP--This made a LOT because I'm planning on eating it non-stop until I loose weight. Okay, not non-stop, but you get the idea. I added tomato sauce and mushrooms, just because.
3 diced carrots
1 large--or two medium--onions, diced
a whole head of garlic, chopped
1/2 pound mushrooms, halved
12 cups fat-free broth (beef, chicken or vegetable--I used vegetable and chicken)
1/2 cup diced zucchini
1 whole green cabbage, chopped
2 cans green beans
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
2 (8 oz.) tomato sauce
2 tsps dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
Spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray. Heat. Sauté the carrot, onion, garlic and mushrooms over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth, tomato paste, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer. Stir in zucchini, cabbage and beans. Cook until cabbage and zucchini are still quite a bit crunchy. Eat every day for a week. Honestly. It makes a LOT.
