Although this may sound like a miracle to some people, I personally do not feel the need to eat only vegetables for 7 days. Maybe if I need to squeeze into a dress for a formal party, but for now a healthy balance of all the food groups and regular exercise is my plan to a bikini body!
Anyway, with Winston out of town tonight I decided to whip up a batch of my own take on cabbage soup, and I love it!! It's perfect for this time of year because it's warm and filling, but still 'zero' calories because it's all veggies!! Voilà!
Below you can find my recipe (from my mom) and feel free to tweak it in your own way. Also, as far as I'm concerned, a 'zero' calorie soup is permissible to be eaten with cheese - and I highly suggest Mediterranean feta! Yum!
Cabbage Soup
1/2 head of cabbage
1/2 head of cauliflower
2 large carrots, thinly sliced
1 can of petite diced tomatoes (low sodium)
1 can of sweet corn
1 cup of boiled kale
1 32oz. beef broth
1 Tablespoon celery seed
1/2 chicken bouillon
1 teaspoon basil
Put everything in the crockpot for 4 hours on high, or until cabbage is done. I added kale last - stripped raw kale from the stems, boiled in salt water for 20 minutes. Mix everything together, garnish with your favorite cheese. Enjoy!
