Are you interested in finding cabbage soup diet recipes?

By Jessica A. Anderson

The cabbage soup diet is a low calorie restriction. Meaning that you will be eating vegetables with a low calorie content, much lower than your usual diet. However, the diet should not be followed for more than seven days at a time. The soup contains the following ingredients:

6 large green onions, 1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional),1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole), 3 Carrots, 1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms, 1 48oz can V8 juice (optional), 1 bunch of celery, half a head of cabbage, 1 package Lipton soup mix, 2 green peppers, Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc.

Here's my favorite way to prepare the cabbage soup:

Slice green onions, put in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray. Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take the seeds and membrane out. Cut the green-pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot. Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.

Clean the carrots, chop into bite size pieces, and add to pot. Cut the mushrooms into thick slices, add to pot. If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.

You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes for seasonings. These have all the salt and flavors you will need. Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time - two hours works well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

The cabbage soup diet should not be followed for more than 7 days. Check out my site for a completely free 7-day plan.
