Remmeber the cabbage soup from diets past? I always thought it was quite good. I'm going to make a pot of it this week and start having a bowl of that at night. I think it will fill me up with liquid and provide fiber so I won't be tempted to graze. I find if I have something hot, it takes away the head hunger. I've got a bunch of odds and ends in the garden that I'll use. I'm also thinking of substituting kale for the cabbage since kale has ALOT more vitamins.
Plus I have quite a few cans of beans as well as dried ones in my pantry and if I add those, it will make it a meal.

Heres a really easy recipe for chicken with kale and beans that I made up. Its very easy and good especially on a chilly day. Its a cross between a soup and a stew..
 It makes a lot so you'll have leftovers. I don't really measure when I cook so the amount of dry spices are up to you I call this.....
 
French Country Chicken Thighs

6 boneless/skinless chicken thighs keep frozen
2 small containers of mushrooms sliced
1 small can diced tomatoes
1 medium onion sliced or chopped
2 tablespoons capers
chicken broth, about 2-3 cups
3/4 cup of red or white wine ( or more broth) 
3 cups of kale torn up
large can of great northern beans
spices:
oregano
garlic powder or fresh garlic
cumin
basil
3 bay leaves
salt pepper

in a sprayed Dutch oven saute the onion and mushrooms until tender. Add the broth, tomatoes ,wine and capers. Lay the FROZEN chicken thighs into the dutch oven. bring to a boil then turn down and simmer for about an hour . Add kale and beans and simmer until kale is soft , just a few minutes. The chicken thights will stay in little bundles.
I bet you could make this in a crock pot too but don't put the beans and kale in until then end or you'll habe mush.

 I agree I love soup this time of the year and Rich you are so right. This is a good recipe with lots of veggies and spices.  

Here are the most popular recipes for this soup.

Original Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe

  • 1 head cabbage
  • 6 medium onions
  • 6 green onions
  • 6 carrots
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 3 large tomatoes
  • 5 stalks celery
  • 4 oz uncooked brown rice
  • salt and freshly-ground black pepper

Cut the vegetables into small pieces. Place in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover. Bring the water to boil. Lower heat and then simmer uncovered for ten minutes.


Cover, and then simmer on low heat until the vegetables are soft. This should take about 15 minutes.


While the soup is simmering, cook the rice. Add the rice when the soup is cooked. Season to taste with salt and pepper.



Green Cabbage Soup

  • One half green cabbage
  • 3 large onions
  • 1 head celery
  • 1 large green pepper
  • One can diced tomatoes
  • 1 pack onion soup mix
  • 3 vegetable bouillon cubes
  • 8-12 cups of water

*Optional - 1 8 oz. can V-8 juice 

*Optional seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder, cilantro, parsley, basil, oregano


Place washed and chopped vegetables in large stockpot. Add water, stir in soup mix, bouillon and tomatoes. Add water to fully cover all the vegetables. Simmer until vegetables are soft.

  • 1 large head of cabbage
  • 1 large bunch celery
  • 2 bunches green onion
  • 1 large can whole tomato
  • 2 can of chicken broth (13 oz)

Clean all the vegetables, slice chop and add in large pot. Add whole tomato, chicken broth and cook on low heat for 15 minutes.



Cabbage Soup Recipe -- Fast

Combine ingredients and bring to boil. Then simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.


Eating cabbage soup or many other kinds of soup is one way to stay full and skip that starvation feeling while still losing weight in a week. Again, remember that any quick weight loss plan including the plan using the cabbage soup diet recipes works for long term weight loss only when combined with a sustainable weight loss program. However as a quick way to see some movement on the scales, this eating plan can help you get a jump-start toward a weight move in the right direction -- down.
