cabbage soup

fishlessman

i remember this from when i was a kid, we always had a little lean hamburger in it. might be good with some smoked burger or chicken added, makes enough for a few days and you can add to it to keep it going. might have too much salt for some, but very low calorie wise and lots of vitamins.

I remember this from the old "Dolly Parton Diet" that was popular in the "70's. One day you ate nothing but fruit, one day all vegetables, etc. The soup was a "free" item. You could lose 10 lbs in one week, if you could suffer through it--but you gained it all back as soon as you went back on a normal diet. I make up a version of the soup now that has only vegetables in it and eat it for lunch. It is very filling and you can suit the vegetables to your own taste. I think I got it from a Weight Watchers forum some time back.

it actually makes you lighter just because of all the gas you carry around, too.

we had this all the time as a kid. my dad had some diet where you ate cabbage soup for a week or something.
pppfffffrrrrrRRRRT

I've had it before. Pretty good taste.
The aftermath can be offensive to some, :huh: those without a sense of humor :woohoo:

I just made a vegetable beef soup with leftover sirloin roast. What helps to make it GREAT is the can of Frank's sauerkraut- juice and all in this soup. Great flavor and healthy cause the meat is lean to start and fat in the soup can be removed after refrigeration. A little fresh garlic and a frozen bag of home grown tomatoes went into the pot along with water, about a pound of chopped sirloin, then carrot, onion, celery and three bay leaves. I seasoned with salt, pepper and California sweet paprika and dehydrated parsley flakes then simmered all afternoon. Winter survival food that's good for ya.

This recipe is tasty. High sodium content may be too much for some, you would have to adjust it according to your needs.
