Introduction

I got this recipe off of RecipeZaar.com. According to the recipe description there, this recipe was from a 1995 or 1996 National Enquirer. It was posted on 'Zaar by Spyder-man. I did make a few minor modifications (I didn't add green peppers or shallots and made some other adjustments).

I don't believe the Cabbage Soup Diet is a great diet to follow, however, this is a really good soup for snacking or lunch. It reminds me of the Cabbage Soup they serve at Big Boy. Also, I halved the recipe and it still made a TON of soup - - roughly 20 servings. I got this recipe off of RecipeZaar.com.

Ingredients

1/2 head cabbage, diced

3 onions, diced

1/2 bunch celery, diced

2 chicken bouillon cubes

1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix (like Lipton's)

24 ounces V8 vegetable juice

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes

juice of half a lemon

pepper to taste

2 cups water (approximately)

4 garlic cloves, crushed

Directions

Place all ingredients (except water) in a large stock pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.

At this time, if the soup is too thick for you, add in the water. I added in 2 cups, you can add more to thin further. Let heat through.
