🥣 How Do You Make the Classic 0-Point Cabbage Soup?

This simple, one-pot recipe is a game-changer. It makes a huge batch, so you can enjoy it for lunches and dinners all week long. It is a perfect recipe for using up any leftover vegetables you have in your fridge.

What Ingredients Do You Need?

  • 1 large head of cabbage, chopped or shredded
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 2-3 carrots, chopped
  • 2-3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 green bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 (28-ounce) can of diced or crushed tomatoes
  • 6-8 cups of fat-free vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 packet of onion soup mix (optional, check Points as some have them) OR your favorite salt-free seasonings
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

What Are the Instructions?

1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a very large stockpot, spray a little cooking spray and sauté the chopped onions, carrots, and celery for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

2. Add Everything Else: Add the chopped bell peppers, the cabbage, the can of tomatoes, and the vegetable broth to the pot. Stir in your seasonings (either the soup mix or a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs).

3. Simmer: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender to your liking. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

⭐ How Can You Customize Your Soup?

This recipe is a perfect base for your creativity. Here are a few ideas:

  • Add Some Heat: A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a lovely warmth.
  • Change the Veggies: Feel free to add other ZeroPoint vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.
  • Add Protein (for Points): To make it a more substantial meal, you can add a ZeroPoint protein like shredded chicken breast or a can of rinsed beans. Just remember to track any additional ingredients that have a Points value.
