Is cabbage soup good for weight loss?

Cabbage Soup is a great low-calorie alternative to add to a balanced diet. You could choose to eliminate the sugar or use a keto-friendly option such as Splenda.

How do I make Cabbage Soup?

You’ll need just a few simple ingredients for this recipe. Cabbage, olive oil, whole tomatoes, onion, broth, hot sauce (optional), sugar, salt and pepper.

To begin, add oil and onions to a large stockpot. Saute for just a few minutes until translucent.

Sauteing the onions

Meanwhile, slice the cabbage thinly and add to the onions.

Slicing the cabbage

Season with salt and pepper. Cover and allow to wilt down for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5 minutes or so. Add the sugar.

Sauteing the cabbage with the onions

You can puree whole tomatoes or use a can of crushed tomatoes.

Pureeing the tomatoes

Add the tomatoes to the cabbage.

Adding the crushed tomatoes

You can use a can or box of broth, but I absolutely love this concentrated chicken base. You simply add a teaspoon to boiling water and give it a little whisk.

Making the chicken broth using Better Than Bouillon

Add the broth to your cabbage mixture, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the soup thickens slightly or until the cabbage reaches the desired tenderness.

Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed and a few dashes of hot sauce, if desired.
