Ingredients
1 Medium head of cabbage chopped1 large red bell pepper chopped1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles5 large celery stalks chopped1 6 oz can chopped green chiles1 Tbsp dehydrated onion flakes2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro1 Tbsp dried oregano (I like Mexican more flavor)Black pepper to taste- I like fresh ground1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar4 cups low sodium organic chicken broth
Directions
In a soup pot or Dutch oven or even the crock pot, add all ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer for about 45 minutes or until cabbage and peppers are tender to your liking. In a crockpot cook about 5 hours on low. I make this in my crockpot while I clean house on the weekends or while I am at work. Yields about 10 2 cup servings at only 51 calories each. Sub veggie broth for chicken broth for a vegetarian version. Make sure your chicken broth has no MSG I use Trader Joe's free range organic low sodium chicken broth. Check health food section of grogery store if you don't have a Trader Joe's close by.

    Its good, but I'm not dying for the next bite. Intake v/s calories is great! I do agree with the other review, and it would be better than the leek soup weekend from the French Women Don't Get Fat books. - 4/17/08
