Cabbage Soup Diet

*DOUBLE BATCH RECIPE *
4 Yellow Onions
4 Garlic cloves
4 Green Peppers
4 Canned Tomatoes- Diced or Whole with Liquid
6 Medium Carrots
2 16oz Container of Mushrooms (I only added one container of Mushrooms because I don't like mushrooms all that much. Also I felt by leaving g this out it would allow me to sub in some spices in its place to make soup more pallet pleasing)
2 Bunches/Bags of Celery
1 Head of Cabbage
2 48oz Bottles or Cans of V8 Vegetable Juice, Low Sodium *optional- can be subbed for 24 cups of water*
3 cups Vegetable Broth *optional*

Chop all the veggies and toss into a 16oz pot, you can either add 24 cups of water OR 2 48OZ V8 juice AND 16 cups of water (though I subbed 3 out of 16 cups of water for veggie stock) . Cook on low for 4 hours. After 2 hours of cooking the soup on #2 heat (electric stove) I realized that the pot was barely warm so I upped the heat to #6 and waited for it to come to a boil then lowered the heat to #3 for remainder of the time or until the veggies were tender. I added some garlic powder and sea salt to the soup to make it not so bland. You can add some spices to your bowl to customize your flavor. I stuck to basics so it wouldn't mess with the calorie intake as bad. Any questions let me know. Yes this recipe is on other websites. I am adding this to get the nutritional facts for my fitness pal. Serving Size: Makes 16 quart pot, which holds about 64 1-Cup servings
