An excellent "diet" soup, this can be eaten in large serving sizes without adding many calories to the diet; yet it still has the protein factor of the beef. It can also be made with part tomato or V-8 juice if desired. In this batch, I used 3 1/2 cups chicken stock and 6 ounces V-8 juice. If you are not too worried about carbs, it's nice with a little cooked rice or pasta added at the end of cooking.

How To Make skinny cabbage soup

  • 1
    Slice steak very thinly and sauté it in some olive oil spray in a dutch oven. If using leftover cooked beef, just shred and warm it with a little olive oil spray in the dutch oven.
  • 2
    Add the carrots and celery and 1 cup of the stock to the pot. Bring to a boil; lower heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
  • 3
    Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Continue to simmer the soup for about 30-45 minutes, until cabbage is done to your liking. Stir occasionally to make sure all the cabbage cooks evenly. Season to taste with extra salt, pepper, or rosemary as desired.
  • 4
    Serve topped with fresh sliced green onions. I do this as I do not like the flavor of large onions cooked with cabbage, but I do like the bite of green onions.
