CABBAGE SOUP

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know how much I hate going hungry, which can be detrimental to any diet plan I follow. So, trying to come up with a soup that isn’t going to break my diet OR yours, while satisfying our never ending hunger pangs meant loading it up with veggies! Off the back of the famed 80’s and 90’s cabbage soup diet, I wanted to know what all of the fuss was about and while experimenting with cabbage, I created beef cabbage soup. Even if you’re someone who doesn’t like cabbage or anything cabbage related, you’ll love this; especially if you’re a fan of flavourful vegetables. Remember that time I drowned Brussels sprouts in a garlic parmesan sauce? Well if you like my Creamy Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, you’ll trust me when I tell you, you’ll love this soup.

WHAT GOES IN SOUP?

Cabbage (I use green, but you can use any variety) Beef. I use rib eye steak or scotch fillet as it’s the most tender cut that remains tender through a minimal cooking process without having to boil it for 4-5 hours. Yes, it’s more expensive than your cheaper cuts, but the flavour and texture is unbeatable, with minimal fat coating the top of the soup. Carrots Onions and garlic Seasonings

You will be in pure disbelief that this cabbage soup is so incredibly delicious. You’ll be surprised to crave seconds and even thirds! Perfect to enjoy as a great afternoon snack (move over celery sticks)!

IS CABBAGE SOUP GOOD FOR WEIGHT LOSS?

Absolutely! This soup recipe contains protein to help keep you full for a longer period of time, has minimal fat content, is fairly low in calories for a protein-based soup and is suitable as a snack as well as a main meal. You can always substitute the beef for chicken, turkey or fish if you’d like to lower the calorie content even more. For a vegetarian option: replace the meat with chickpeas, black beans or tofu.

Cabbage soup is just what you need on a chili winter’s night… dieting or not!
