This is wonderful, makes you feel cozy and warm. I add ,little red pepper flake, to my mug of soup.
This was good! I dumped everything (without measuring, even) into a pressure cooker and within half an hour my soup was ready! I always have sour salt in the house and love the flavor it adds to cabbagy-tomato-ey foods. I didn’t use sweetener but went for broke and used about 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. My daughter thought this tasted like stuffed cabbage soup! I think I’m going to make it again with little meatballs in it, it should be a hit! Thanks, DL, it’s great!
This was originally a WW recipe, from, I am guessing, the early 70s. I am pretty sure it has been altered somewhat, but it is super-easy and very tasty. We make it often in spite of its low calorie/low fat attributes ;-). My Nana always had a pot of it on the back burner because it was a “free” food, and boy, did the house smell good! Makes lots, but freezes well, also.
This was really good soup!! Made a large batch and it smelled wonderful!!! I didn’t have any citric acid but did add some balsamic vinegar instead. This turned out really good and will help me to continue in my WW journey!!

Ingredients
1 medium head of cabbage
6 large celery ribs
1 lb carrot
4 onions
2(28 ounce) cans tomatoes with juice
1(46 ounce) can tomato juice(or V8)
6 -8beef bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon citric acid (sour salt)
4(1 g) packets Sweet ‘n Low or 4 (1 g) packets another sweetener
black pepper
salt, if desired (optional)
Steps
Cut up all the veggies, put everything in a very large pot, cover with water, and cook at least 3 hours, until everything is very soft.
Taste for seasoning – judge sour and sweet separately to see weather to add more citric acid or sweetener. I usually do add plenty more of each, until it is delicious.
Notes:.
Don’t even bother cutting the core out of the cabbage – it cooks down with everything else and will be delicious. Really.
Measurements can be approximate. Feel free to adjust for what you like or have on hand. I know I always have a glass of the juice before pouring it into the pot.
Speaking of the juice, I don’t remember it being part of the original recipe, but I always add it for tomatoey taste and body.
Sometimes, my Nana added green peppers. Her recipe also mentioned to serve with “rice and veal balls”, although I don’t actually remember her doing this. What could be bad?.
When I am not on a diet, I add brown sugar instead of the sweet-and-low.
Oops – I Totally had to Estimate how many servings. But this does mostly fill my 10 quart pot, and then cook off a little, so I will est. 18 servings – your mileage will vary;-).
