 Ingredients

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 large carrots, sliced
• 3 celery stalks, chopped
• ½ medium green cabbage, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, diced (optional, adds natural sweetness)
• 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes (or 2 fresh tomatoes, chopped)
• 6 cups vegetable broth (or water, if preferred)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• Pinch of chili flakes (optional for mild heat)

 Equipment You’ll Need

• Large soup pot or Dutch oven
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Sharp knife and cutting board
• Ladle for serving
• Airtight container for leftovers

Instructions

1. Sauté the Base

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until translucent and fragrant (about 3–4 minutes).

2. Add the Veggies

Stir in carrots, celery, and bell pepper (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes to enhance the flavor and soften the vegetables.

3. Build the Soup

Add chopped cabbage to the pot. Stir well, then pour in the diced tomatoes and broth. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if desired).

4. Simmer to Perfection

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. The broth will slightly reduce, concentrating flavor while keeping the soup light.

5. Serve Warm

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with lemon wedges or fresh herbs if desired.

Pro Tips

•  Make-ahead friendly: Keeps well in the fridge for 4–5 days and freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
•  Boost the veggie power: Add zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms.
•  Brighten the flavor: A squeeze of lemon before serving balances the richness.
•  Add lean protein: Toss in shredded chicken or white beans for extra satiety.

This cabbage soup for weight loss is more than just a detox recipe—it’s a feel-good, cozy bowl of nourishment you’ll actually crave. Make a big batch and enjoy it all week long as a smart, metabolism-boosting meal that fits your goals without sacrificing flavor.
