Cabbage soup


This is the "Cabbage Soup Diet" cabbage soup. For more information about how to lose 7 lb in a week and never put it back on again (only kidding!), read my Cabbage Soup Diary.
Servings: 1 week's worth
Time: 1½ hours
  • 6 onions
  • 2 large green peppers
  • 1 head of celery
  • 1 large cabbage
  • 2 cans tomatoes
  • 1 can tomato paste
  • Beansprouts, asparagus, mushrooms, carrots, leeks, fennel and garlic (optional)
  • Seasonings: salt, pepper, stock cubes, Worcester sauce, Marmite etc.

  1. Find a HUGE saucepan. (Mine holds 8 litres and it would barely contain the essential items. The optionals had to be added later in the week.)
  2. Cut all the vegetables into small pieces. Add the tinned tomatoes, cover with water and add the seasonings.
  3. Boil quickly for 10 minutes, then simmer until the vegetables are tender.
