tomato and cabbage fat-burning soup
From Allrecipes, posted by Nell Marsh who states, "This tomato and cabbage soup was rumored, in days of old, to melt away those thighs." A similar Weight Watchers recipe (includes zucchini, basil, oregano) states it's served in hospitals to patients on low-calorie diets. Patients love that it's so tasty and they can have all they want since it's so low in calories (90 calories per serving, 0 points in WW plan). Yet it's chock-full of essential nutrients, which is important for overall health in their weight-loss journeys. Whether all that is true or not, I don't know. But it really is tasty.

How To Make tomato and cabbage fat-burning soup
-
Step 1Place carrots, onions, garlic, tomatoes, cabbage, green beans, peppers, and celery in a very large stockpot.
-
Step 2Add the onion soup mix, tomato juice, beef broth, and enough water to completely cover vegetables.
-
Step 3Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 25 to 35 minutes. NOTE: The recipe as written makes a very large batch (which is why Step #1 states to use a very large stockpot). But leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for several days and reheated as needed.
