Peel-a-Pound Soup (Diet Cabbage Soup)
Print Friendly and PDF

Some folks claim this Peel-a-Pound Soup is a great way to lose pounds after the holidays. Diet claims aside, this is definitely a delicious, filling soup that we never tire of, packed with vegetables, including cabbage, onions, and tomatoes. It also smells amazing. 

You might remember this soup as the “Diet Cabbage Soup” from years ago. We leave that kind of diet advice to your doctor but you certainly won’t find a much healthier soup if you simply want to keep your cholesterol low, stave off hunger pains, eat a more plant-based diet, or flush out your system. Plus, it’s a warming soup that hits the spot on a cold day!

Peel A Pound Soup is easy to make with what you have on hand. Add some lean protein such as leftover turkey.

Ingredients
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 head green cabbage, shredded
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 can (16 ounces) tomatoes, with liquid, chopped
3 bouillon cubes
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups diced cooked turkey (or lean hamburger)
Instructions

Combine all ingredients except meat in a pot, adding enough water to completely cover vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Thirty minutes before cooking time ends, add meat. Serve hot.

Heads up... the ingredients list is missing the carrots.

How many calories are in this soup? A nutritional fact label would be so useful!

I would like to try this recipe....can you clarify whether the 3 bouillon cubes are chicken or beef?

Thanks!

Hi, Karen. I believe the flavor of the boullion cubes would depend on what meat you decide to use; beef, chicken or turkey. If you're using turkey, I would suggest using the chicken boullion. I hope this helps.
Have a great New Year!
