Basic cabbage soup diet recipe from Sharon, shared on our forum.

Ingredients:

  • 6 large green onions (1 bunch)
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • 1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (14.5 ounce size, diced or whole)
  • 1 bunch celery, sliced
  • 1/2 head cabbage, chopped
  • 1 package (Lipton) onion soup mix
  • 1 or 2 cubes bouillon (optional)
  • 1 48 oz can V8 juice, or 6 cups water or light chicken or vegetable broth
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc.*

Preparation:

Simmer or slow cook all until soup is done. *If slow cooking, add seasonings about an hour before done. Eat all the soup you want, whenever you want. This is the basic plan, shared by Sharon.

First Day - All fruit is fine, except bananas; soup
Day 2 - Any and all vegetables, baked potato with butter for dinner; soup
Day 3 - Combine Day 1 and 2, without potato; soup
Day 4 - Up to six bananas, all the skim milk you want; soup
Day 5 - 10 to 20 ounces of beef, a can of tomatoes, 6 to 8 glasses of water; soup
Day 6 - All the beef and vegetables you want; soup
Day 7 - Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables; soup

Note: No bread, alcohol, or carbonated beverages - not even diet soda

Great Cabbage Soup Variation and Dinner IdeaApril 07, 2009By BajunaJewelry
"I made the cabbage soup like this and lost 14 lbs. I was in my 30's. Now I am in my 40's and trying it. A variation I do is 50% low salt chicken broth, 50% V8 juice for the stock. Also I add 8 oz sliced mushrooms, 3 big cloves of minced garlic and use a bunch of italian herbs. Herbs used are oregano,thyme, bayleaves,marjaram, and rosemary. I use a little lemon pepper and also add about 1/2 tsp peppercorns. I use red and yellow peppers instead of green and half of a poblano pepper. If you have any soup left over it is great with pasta and shredded parmesan cheese. Or you can give that to the non dieters in the family so you don't have to cook twice. Your family also might like this soup with chicken and noodles added."
