Introduction
I'm not planning to do the 'cabbage soup diet' but I wanted to try the much-touted soup. I was appalled at the sodium content and the inclusion of so many packaged ingredients in the recipes I found online, so I decided to write my own using only fresh ingredients. I did this in the crock pot, but you could do it on the stove in about 30 minutes cooking time.I'm not planning to do the 'cabbage soup diet' but I wanted to try the much-touted soup.

Ingredients
-
Chicken stock, home-prepared, 8 cups
Cabbage, fresh, 4 cups (1/ a head), chopped
Onions, raw, 1 medium
Garlic, 2-3 cloves, finely chopped
Carrots, raw, 1 cup, chopped
Tomatoes, canned, no salt added, 2 cups chopped PLUS 2 cups pureed (I used home-canned tomatoes)
Celery, raw, 1 cups, diced
Zucchini, 2 cups, sliced
Peppers, sweet, red, raw, sliced, .5 cups
Thyme, fresh, 1 tsp
Parsley, 3 tbsp
Sage, ground, .5 tbsp
Tomato juice, 2 cups
Tips
I used home-made chicken stock (left over chicken carcass, 10 cups water, carrots, onions, garlic and herbs in the crock pot on low overnight). No salt added - just what was already on the chicken!
Next time I'm going to substitute vegetable broth for the chicken.
Directions
Toss all ingredients in the crock pot on low, cook on low till you want to eat it! 4-6 hours in the slow cooker or 30 minutes on the stove at a low simmer.
