CARPEL TUNNEL SYNDROME WARNING! My hand surgeon told me that every time you smash the butt of your hand down on a knife to crush garlic, you are smashing the Carpel Tunnel nerve at the base of your hand which comes thru your wrist bones just there. Over time, you are badly damaging it. Instead, ball up your fist and smash the knife with the fatty OUTSIDE of your hand. Works just as well and is much safer. Happy cooking! Wonderful video too!
The beauty in simplicity... This is a wonderful base recipe with limitless variations.. I make mine with Cabbage, Carrots, Onions, Celery, Garlic, Jalapenos, Canned Crushed Tomatoes, Chicken & Beef Stock... The fun part is just by changing up the seasonings, you can create different tastes that keep things from becoming repetitive.. Favorite Seasonings include Italian Herb Blend -- Old Bay -- Onion Powder -- Everglades Seasoning Salt -- Allspice -- Cajun Seasonings -- Franks or Crystals Hot Sauce etc.. Great Vid, thanks for posting!
I have been making this soup for years. I recently discovered flavored vinegars. This has been a game changer in giving me more variety. I just add the vinegar after dishing up my bowl.
@@28105wsking You're welcome. It will give the soup a little bit of brightness or "pop" of flavor similar to what lemon juice does to things. Thank you for watching!
thky. mother use to make this. We all loved it. She is gone now and no one remembers how to make it. 2am in the morning and going to the kitchen and fill up the crock pot and have a great lunch. morning Jamie thank you. much love dan t. palm springs calif USA
The original cabbage soup I remember the V 8 spicy one can. Cabbage. String beans. Celery onion your seasoning. I don't remember all that other veggies that was put in soup
Thank you so much for sharing Patricia. My mom has made it in and off over the years and I don’t think she used spicy V8 in hers but I’m not positive. There as so many variations of it from What I’ve seen online. I definitely need to try it with the spicy V8 though. That would be right up my alley. Thank you for watching!
That’s awesome that you have your own version of the recipe! There are so many variations you can do with it. Glad you learned a new tip or two. Enjoy!
Made this today. It smells divine. Added some homemade chicken stock I had just made, also added fresh cauliflowerettes, leftover diced potatoes and some leftover creamed cauliflower. Tomorrow will add some leftover corn as well. Used some fresh herbs, hot sauce, a dash of red wine vinegar, some anchovie paste from a tube, some basil in tube and a tablespoon of sugar. (always with tomatoes.) I only used 1 can of tomatoes. And then hit the scales and see what happens.
@@SavorySaver Reporting back. Had 3 bowls yesterday and hubs tried it as well. His comment was 'tasts just like Minestrone". This is fabulous, i think the hot sauce really amps it up. Just wondering if this would freeze well. I usually do not care for frozen carrots. This will be an ongoing pot, just keep adding leftovers from all meals. Thanks so much. And now we are in Fall harvest time. Whooooopeeee.
@@SavorySaver Never did freeze it. Was too good, so kept on eating it. Will be starting another pot tomorrow. If i get to freezing, i will let you know.
So glad you liked the recipe. The potatoes sound like a nice addition to add a little more bulk to the soup. If I remember correctly when I shot that video I’m probably using a great big cutting board. It was custom-made and is Corian countertop. I love cutting on it because it’s easy to clean and doesn’t seem to hold a whole lot of stains but it can be a little bit hard on the knives. They require a little more sharpening than normal because of the hardness of the cutting board. It was made locally by someone in North Carolina where I am from. I’m not sure if he is still in business or not. Thank you for watching!
I really like the way you laid out everything before you started chopping and seasoning. I will probably do this soon. I've had it before and it is delicious. I also like your recipe more than the others I've seen.
That is a great healthy soup with all the lovely vegetables it's very nourishing and delicious A easy way to loose weight and you will have much better energy and make a family meal and very filling healthy foods with a cure for many health problems very easy to digest
Yes, I did remove the bayleaf. I'm not sure if I did it on camera or not though. It's been a while since I shot the video. Bay leaves like to be sneaky and hide on me sometimes and it takes a bit to find and fish them out of the finished soup. Thank you so much for watching!
I love cabbage soup i use boxed boulion as i cant have the salt u gave me so many ideas on what to add to my soup. How much can u have to still be zero points on WW
I'm not on the WW diet and they seem to change the points system every few years so it may be best to check out their website and see if you can find some good resources there.www.weightwatchers.com/us/ I hope this helps and thank you for watching.
Terri, no I don't eat it for breakfast. I use the cabbage soup as an appetizer before lunch and dinner. If I need a snack, I eat the soup. I am vegan,so don't eart anything with a face, no oil or animal products of any kind. Also, no dairy or cheese. Since my food choices Are somewhat limited, this, delicious, savory soup is always in my fridge
Great recipe and it is delicious. I suggest you put a cloth, dishtowel, under that plastic cutting board..Makes cutting easier and no spills or accidents.
I don't use it for weight loss but I like it for a low calorie meal option. It makes a good amount of soup so I'll eat it for lunch to keep myself full and my calorie count down for the day. Luck and Good Thoughts on your weight loss journey! Thank you for watching.
I'm needing to drop 100 pounds so my questions are how often can you eat this soup and how long of a period can you eat it? Can I eat it for months and be safe to do so?
ive seen the diet where you eat pretty much just this and fruits for a solid week. They say to wait 3 weeks before doing it again because this is not a good substitute for a balanced diet. Im sure you could have this several times a week with no issue though. One problem with the 7 day diet is that since you lose so much weight so fast your body goes into fat storage mode. So in the weeks after most people will just gain all that weight back since your body thinks it was in starvation mode and it will slow down your metabolism. make sure you exercise, keep a healthy diet and cut down on the calories. good luck!
Update| re kale tough stems. After sitting in the tomato based broth overnight, the acid cooked the stems and they were not discernable when I had a nice bowl this morning.
Is there any substitute for tomato/diced in the soup? It's not good for my arthritis and I do not like the taste of it in the soup. Would love to know. Thanks.
I would just leave them out all together. Maybe add a little broth to make up the difference from not having the juice of the tomatoes. You could also add a little more of the vegetables that you do like and are able to have.
Thank you Patrice! I use a bench scraper for scooping up my veggies. Bakers use them for dough but it works great at moving larger amounts of ingredients from a cutting board to your pot or pan. You should be able to find one at places like walmart or target as well as online.
I ought a bag of chopped kale to add, as I didn't have quite enough cabbage. The kale leaves cooked beautifully . I've been eating it daily for lunch for about 45 years. If you choose the chopped, bagged kale, be aware that they chop the stems as well, which will never cook down. I plan to go back to bunch kale in the future.
I love kale in soups and it sounds like a great addition or swap out for the cabbabe. We use it soups in place of spinach because it cooks up better and doesn't get slimy like spinach can get. Good tip to know on bagged Kale. I've never purchased the prechopped stuff because I always feel like it's expensive.
Hi! I just went to your "Recipe Link" above and really appreciate all the info including the different ways to cook, including Slow Cooker and Instant Pot. I can't wait to get to the grocery with my list so I can make this. I remember when it was called the "Dolly Parton Diet Soup". That really shows my age. :~) Now, can I ask an off topic question? Where did you get your spoon you used to stir the soup? And while we are at it, the knife you used to cut up the veggies? The spoon is very similar to one I use and love, but can not find one to replace it. I like the more pointed end of the spoon bowl. Most it seems today most are rounded and thick. Silly, I know to be so attached to a spoon. And I am always interested in the knives used on these videos as I don't have a very good set of knives of my own. OK... that's all. Except Thank you for a wonderful video and I am now Subscribed and will get all notifications since I clicked the "bell"... Or should I say, "Rang" the bell... LOL...
Thank you so much for subscribing. lol...That's one name for the soup I'd not heard before. I totally get being attached to a utensil. I think the spoon is about 20 years old at this point. I'm sure I got it at walmart or dollar tree.I use it more than any other spoon when cooking. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I break or melt it:) The knife is a santoku rachael ray knife. I don't think they make that specific knife anymore but you want to look for a santoku style knife. Mine is a 5" or 7" blade I think. I find the style easier for me to handle as opposed to a chefs knife. I'll try to start linking more items like that in my video. Thank you so much for your comments!
I'm on a diet now. Trying to get off some of the diabetic meds.. That being said, I was wondering if there is a significant amount of sugar in say two carrots that I should leave them out and use a zucchini or some other vegetable.
Thank you for your comment. You should consult your Dr in regards to keeping or reducing carrots in your diet. I think substituting zucchini, yellow squash or broccoli for the carrots are some great swap out ideas. Enjoy!
If you like the other vegetables in the soup try adding more of those and maybe add zucchini and yellow squash to bulk up the soup. leave out any tomato products. I hope this helps and thank you for watching!
Adding protein is important. This is not a sustainable diet unless you add amino acids. Don't add the carrot until the end. The glycemic index increases from 17 to over 70 when cooked for these guys. Add Konjac noodles and protein to supplement your health. Tofu or lean meats. Also high protein, low fat cottage cheese thickens the soup and adds to the feeling of fullness. Raw grated carrot is also very filling. Add simple spices such as pepper, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika and chilies. No mixed spices. Garlic and ginger. Add low fat, high protein Greek Yoghurt at the end - no more than 100 grams per litre.
You need to look up the protein values of your vegetables that you used in the soup. Of course your soup has protein in it because vegetables have protein in them.
I love that Weight Watchers has updated and changed their points system to keep it current and help it work for people to be successful with their weightloss journey. Thank you so much for watching and sharing that update.
Nope, it started as sacred heart diet for patients undergoing surgery and needed fast wt loss. Carrots and other high glyceemjc veg was not included. Has it changed?
@@SavorySaver I love this soup and make it regularly. I like using spicy v8 and will throw in ANY vegetable at hand. Broccoli is a favorite (protein and anti cancer nutrients).
I often hear people say or see on labels that things are gluten free. Is there usually or ever wheat product in beef, chicken or vegetable bouillon or stock?
As odd as it seems, yes there can be gluten in broths, stocks and bouillon. I see it more often in bouillon as opposed to cartons and cans of broths and stocks but read labels even on products you’ve purchased before to make sure the brands haven’t changed their recipes
Yes, there likely is gluten in most store bought broths. However, more grocery stores are carrying gluten free broths. Campbell's broths have a vegetarian broth, and now a gluten free chicken broth. I've had to switch to these, as my daughter is gluten sensitive. Bulk Barn, Superstore, and Farm Boy carry gluten free broths.
Yes this recipe been around since the 1970s! I ate it night and day for 21 straight days and the only thing I lost was my ability to eat cabbage! I am awfully allergic to whatever chemical reaction happens when you cook cabbage with anything. Which is fine with me I never did like cabbage very much anyway. I never recommend this awful soup to anyone. Try apple cider vinegar it’s much tester and simple and quick to use and for me works wonderful. For you you’ll have to try it yourself! Perhaps it’s better now than it was in 1980 when I ate it every day for 21 days and didn’t lose any significant amount of weight (5 lb’s) and all it did was make me very very sick! So perhaps today’s spices it would be better but I am not taking a chance on trying it!
not every wants to keep hearing the term Glutten Free. its a veggie soup. Give the world a break from the celebration of disease or thoughts of illness. We do not eat this cabbage because we thrive in constant Fear and anxiety like the Glutten Free Society. Nice Video. But next time, leave the Glutten Free gospel to cakes.
I ought a bag of chopped kale to add, as I didn't have quite enough cabbage. The kale leaves cooked beautifully . I've been eating it daily for lunch for about 45 years. If you choose the chopped, bagged kale, be aware that they chop the stems as well, which will never cook down. I plan to go back to bunch kale in the future.

Adding protein is important. This is not a sustainable diet unless you add amino acids. Don't add the carrot until the end. The glycemic index increases from 17 to over 70 when cooked for these guys. Add Konjac noodles and protein to supplement your health. Tofu or lean meats. Also high protein, low fat cottage cheese thickens the soup and adds to the feeling of fullness. Raw grated carrot is also very filling. Add simple spices such as pepper, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika and chilies. No mixed spices. Garlic and ginger. Add low fat, high protein Greek Yoghurt at the end - no more than 100 grams per litre.
Thank you for watching and sharing all of those great additions Antoinette! Great ideas!!
you don't add water????
Thank you for watching.
You need to look up the protein values of your vegetables that you used in the soup. Of course your soup has protein in it because vegetables have protein in them.
Exactly
He shd hv said meat
We've always called it "pointless soup" 😂
LOL...Love it! 😂🤣
You can now add chicken breast and beans for still 0 points.
I love that Weight Watchers has updated and changed their points system to keep it current and help it work for people to be successful with their weightloss journey. Thank you so much for watching and sharing that update.
Nope, it started as sacred heart diet for patients undergoing surgery and needed fast wt loss. Carrots and other high glyceemjc veg was not included. Has it changed?
There's protein in the veg!...
Thank you for watching Leigh!
If you aren’t vegan, bone broth is a good replacement for regular broth.
Yes! It would definitely add a richer flavor to the soup as well. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your recipe tweak!
@@SavorySaver I love this soup and make it regularly. I like using spicy v8 and will throw in ANY vegetable at hand. Broccoli is a favorite (protein and anti cancer nutrients).
@@splifster88 MMMMMMMmmmmm! I definitely need to try it with the spicy V-8!
I often hear people say or see on labels that things are gluten free. Is there usually or ever wheat product in beef, chicken or vegetable bouillon or stock?
As odd as it seems, yes there can be gluten in broths, stocks and bouillon. I see it more often in bouillon as opposed to cartons and cans of broths and stocks but read labels even on products you’ve purchased before to make sure the brands haven’t changed their recipes
Yes, there likely is gluten in most store bought broths. However, more grocery stores are carrying gluten free broths. Campbell's broths have a vegetarian broth, and now a gluten free chicken broth. I've had to switch to these, as my daughter is gluten sensitive. Bulk Barn, Superstore, and Farm Boy carry gluten free broths.
Linda, I appreciate you taking a minute to share a few of the broth options you are aware of and info. Thank you so much!
You can add some chicken bones, some meat also.
Those would be some excellent additions!
Okra?
I haven't tried Okra in mine but I don't see why that wouldn't work! Thanks for Sharing
Change speed to 1.5
Is it low sodium?
Use Low or No Sodium ingredients to make the product low sodium
Watch for hidden sugars in stewed tomatoes and V8
Good to know Bonnie. Thank you for sharing
Yeah, was just wondering also if the soup will keep in the fridge and not go sour cos of the tomatoes
@@margiemitchell3357 I usually eat it for lunch for 4-5 days and it's fine.
Yes this recipe been around since the 1970s! I ate it night and day for 21 straight days and the only thing I lost was my ability to eat cabbage! I am awfully allergic to whatever chemical reaction happens when you cook cabbage with anything. Which is fine with me I never did like cabbage very much anyway. I never recommend this awful soup to anyone. Try apple cider vinegar it’s much tester and simple and quick to use and for me works wonderful. For you you’ll have to try it yourself! Perhaps it’s better now than it was in 1980 when I ate it every day for 21 days and didn’t lose any significant amount of weight (5 lb’s) and all it did was make me very very sick! So perhaps today’s spices it would be better but I am not taking a chance on trying it!
Thank you so much for watching!
You are not telling the truth, no way you eat this soup only for 21 days and didn’t lose weight. Not true.
I usually make a batch of this soup and eat it as a lunch but not for 21 days. Thank you for watching@@beautymore5224
Could you can do that without it going bad
I'm not familiar with canning soup for storing long term
You could’ve added sweet potatoes and gotten a lot more vitamins and protein without adding meat
Thank you so much for sharing!
salty? plenty of salt...your killing me lolol
Salt is all to taste. Use what is best to your diet and preference
🤣
dollar tree sells a salt free seasoning I use in EVERYTHING! it's way better than mrs dash!
Never, ever boil a soup - it takes all the flavour out of the vegetables
No celery
Super easy to just leave it out if celery isn't something you eat.
And it gives you the shits BADLY!
not if you eat lots of vegetables regularly already lol. if you go from a bad diet to this then yeah
Breege Divilly,
Correction: AN easy way to LOSE
Why don't you chop your vegetables before you film ALOHA
Thank you so much for watching. This was one of my very first videos. I do prechop some vegetables now depending on the video.
Dilose weight on it 🥴
Look
not every wants to keep hearing the term Glutten Free. its a veggie soup. Give the world a break from the celebration of disease or thoughts of illness. We do not eat this cabbage because we thrive in constant Fear and anxiety like the Glutten Free Society. Nice Video. But next time, leave the Glutten Free gospel to cakes.
I think the weight loss is caused by sitting on the toilet 24 hours a day. No thanks.
😂
🤣🤣😆😆😂😂
That's so silly.
That's the plan only way to she'd pounds fast💅
Some people are ignorant.
I made this and its tastes awful but I’m not eating it for its taste I only added water and nothing else. 😂
lol
Orrington Farms is the best on the block. You can’t get it any better! Been using it for years!
I ought a bag of chopped kale to add, as I didn't have quite enough cabbage. The kale leaves cooked beautifully . I've been eating it daily for lunch for about 45 years. If you choose the chopped, bagged kale, be aware that they chop the stems as well, which will never cook down. I plan to go back to bunch kale in the future.
