    Cabbage Soup

    Ingredients:

    1 head Cabbage chopped
    6 carrots chopped
    1 Onion chopped
    4 stalks Celery chopped
    1 green pepper chopped
    1 envelope Onion soup mix
    1 Garlic minced
    4 chicken bouillon cubes
    16-oz can V8 or Clamato
    28-oz can Stewed Tomatoes with juice
    3 cups water
    1 tsp pepper to taste
    Salt to taste

    Directions:

    All vegetables are chopped coarsely except the garlic. Place all in large pot, bring to a boil, simmer one hour, take off heat and cover with lid and let sit 1 hour. I add extra pepper above the tsp because I enjoy this spicy. Also hot sauce would work.

    You can add other spices and vegetables, just be sure the water content is high in the veggies and the calories are low, such as Zucchini. I believe it is about 60 cal a cup.

    Good luck!

    I just made some yesterday.

    8 cups of water (homemade chicken stop is BEST here as a base)
    1-2 lb bag of frozen mixed veggies
    1 lb of extra hamburger meat
    1 onion
    1 (or more) garlic cloves
    1 can tomato sauce
    Salt, pepper to taste

    Bring your water to boil and season. Throw in your frozen veggies and bring back to a boil. Meanwhile, brown hambuger meat along with your onion and garlic. Season meat. Throw your meat mixture in with your veggies and add your tomato sauce. I let mine simmer for a while and then check to see what seasoning needs to be added. SO, SO good. Only 98 calories per half cup. I prefer to use my own homemade chicken stock instead of water. Makes it WAY better.
