One Day Diet and Cabbage Soup Recipe together make a powerful team. You take the diet one day at a time adding new foods each day but always eating the Cabbage Soup in between or along side of those daily foods.
Make up a batch to have on hand for the “On Days” of the One Day Diet. (Remember also to try some of our smoothie recipes with One Day Protein for a change of pace or when you are feeling tempted.)
DO NOT substitute unless specified. The soup has a science to it and you especially may not add starchy vegetables. Eat it on any day but especially to help with hunger pangs on your diet days.
Cabbage Soup Recipe (The smaller the pieces the better. )
- 1 head cabbage, shredded or chopped
- 2 large onions, chopped small
- 16-28 ounces canned stewed tomatoes, chopped ( I don’t add this because of the texture of the stewed tomatoes, but it is good either way and you can blend them up first if you wish.)
- 2 yellow, orange, red or green peppers. You can add jalapeno if you wish also but not from a jar; only fresh.
- 4 stalks celery chopped small; including the stalks.
- 1-2 packages Lipton onion soup mix, or any dry onion soup mix (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste with garlic salt, parsley, basil or your choice of spices. Low salt is always preferable in dieting.
- any fresh herbs of your choice, chopped or minced (optional)
- now cook over medium heat until it is pleasantly cooked.
- Optional: add 1/3 of a bottle of v8 if you want – I like spicy v8 because the hot stuff always purifies the blood and helps circulation. I don’t like v8 but it is not the same in this soup so if YOU don’t like it try it just once in this. It just gives it more of a vegetable soup flavor.
Eat all the bowls you want of this; all day and all night.
You can also have fruit but that we will talk about in another post.
