WHY THIS CABBAGE SOUP RECIPE WORKS

Cabbage is actually one of healthiest foods to eat (organic)! It takes more calories to digest than the leaves have themselves, which is a great benefit to any weight loss diet. Our ultimate favorite way to eat cabbage is in this savory cabbage soup diet recipe!

Check out the Soup Video Tutorial 

An easy digestible way to enjoy all the benefits of cabbage – Growing up my mom was always a fan of sauerkraut. But I remember hating the smell and it was not until I was older that I began to favor vinegary cabbage. She would always try to make us eat it. I remember coming home and the house was overpowered by the pungent odor and we would walk right back out that door! When you have kids it is like Karma hits you then. My kids do the same things to me that I did to my mom… boy is payback a funny thing because now as an adult I cant get enough sauerkraut and cabbage. My kids don't like sauerkraut but they sure do gobble up a whole bowl of this detox cabbage soup recipe!

You can cook the cabbage soup in a slow cooker or on the stove top. – Slow cooker soup is so easy. Literally all you have to do is chop and toss all those fresh veggies in the bowl! Big bonus is there are hardly any dishes to scrub after this meal! TOTAL win, win! But if you want this healthy cabbage soup recipe ready at moments notice, you can also cook it on the stove in 30-40 minutes.

Supports weight loss and a body cleanse

Cabbage, like celery, speeds up the metabolism. It takes more calories to digest it than the plant actually has in it. The ingredients in cabbage soup are all natural, healing, filling, and detoxing! When the body is detoxed from free radicals and unwanted toxins it is able to lose weight, have more energy, feel lighter, happier and experience more of life! I only say this from experience with the foods we eat:-).

If you want to keep this soup really clean, leave out the miso broth and use vegetable or chicken broth. But honestly, the spicy miso broth is what gives this soup its abundance of extra flavor! For vegan diets you can find vegan miso to use as an alternative. For gluten-free and Celiac, miso usually contains gluten so make sure the paste is also gluten-free. (side note, this post has been updated to accommodate).

WHAT GOES INTO THIS DETOX CABBAGE SOUP DIET RECIPE

  1. Green Cabbage – packed with fiber and is a great source of choline, phosphorus, vitamin B2, magnesium, calcium, selenium, iron, pantothenic acid, protein and niacin.
  2. Celery – Burns more calories than it takes to eat. Packed with fiber!
  3. Onion – Packed with vitamin C to help improve immunity.
  4. Carrots – Packed with vitamin A it is great for eyesight.
  5. Seasoning – Herbs are essential and packed with vitamins and minerals such as iron.
  6. Chicken Broth or Vegetable Broth– Carries electrolytes and sodium to hydrate the body when dehydrated or sick. Plus fills you up.
  7. Apple Cider Vinegar – Helps reduce heartburn, acid reflux, can aid in weight loss, assists in healthy blood sugar and carries antioxidant properties.
  8. Lemon – Balances PH levels in the body. Aids in hydration.
  9. Miso Paste Use 1-3 Tablespoons of white miso paste (fermented soy bean paste) as it is made without the fish flavor or gluten.
  10. Tomatoes – High in vitamin C and when cooked contain higher levels of cancer preventing antioxidants.

This soup consists of 10 wildly healthy plant based vegetables and herbs! This cabbage soup recipe can be added to your “Cabbage Soup Diet Plan”. But really it is the wholefoods what we should always be eating on a daily basis.

Diets are fads. Eating foods like this healing soup are a way to live freely. Just think of the cabbage soup diet as a way of life for more energy and weight loss. The weight loss comes from eating fiber packed fruits and vegetables that fill you up longer. Fruits and vegetables that provide sustainable energy that allow you to do the passions and things you love in life! That is a big win right there!

HOW TO MAKE THIS SOUP RECIPE

There are two ways to make this cabbage soup diet recipe.

Notes

Item Needed For This Recipe: Gluten-Free and Vegan Miso Paste
+++This recipe has been updated to accommodate gluten-free and vegan lifestyle. The video uses a packet of dry miso, so you can also use that in place of the paste for non Celiac and gluten-sensitivity. Most miso contains gluten, so make sure to find one without it if needed. It is also optional to leave the miso out all together and enjoy as a simple clean cabbage soup.

    I am allergic to tomatoes, mushrooms, and soy. I’m currently making this soup without out these ingredients. I hope it taste as good as it looks. If not do you have any suggestions for substitutes for these ingredients?

      Hi Michelle! You can use regular broth and add a splash of rice vinegar and substitute the vegetables for chopped zucchini and yellow squash which will absorb other flavors. How did your version turn out?

    I can’t wait to try this recipe but I can’t seem to find dry miso soup packets or paste in my area. I have found miso broth. Will this work? Should I omit the vegetable broth? What are your suggestions? My mouth is watering in anticipation! 😀

      Hi Nicole! Yes, just use the Miso Broth in place of Vegetable Broth and the miso packet (if you are not Celiac as it has gluten). Let me know what you think and I would love for you to come back here and rate the recipe:-). Enjoy!

    This looks amazing! My only concern is I have high blood pressure and I’m wondering how I can lower the sodium content.

    Reply
    • Danielle at Delightful Mom Food says

      June 6, 2018 at 7:30 pm

      To lower the sodium, use low sodium broth and instead of 2 soup packets use only 1 packet or 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of miso paste (amount to desired taste so start with 1 teaspoon). The paste contains about 330mg of sodium per tablespoon and is less sodium than the packets.

    This is fantastic! Question should the slow cooker be on medium or high for the 6 hours of cook time! I am so excited to dig into this, I doubled up on the recipe the slow cooker is practically overflowing 🙂 The only thing I changed is instead of the himilayan sea salt I’ve added ghost pepper sea salt to spice it up even more as I love that heat!

    Greetings from Ireland, Danielle.
    Superb recipe thanks. Never thought cabbage soup could taste that good, and such healthy ingedients.
    My 16 year old daughter loved it too, but still working on her vegetable-shy 13 year old brother! I’ll try some more of your recipes on him. Looking forward to making them.

      Yes, you can easily do make this recipe on the stove top. Just put the ingredients in the pot and turn it to high. When the broth heats up turn it down to a simmer and simmer covered for about 20-30 minutes or until the carrots are soft.

      February 2, 2018 at 4:08 am

      Miso soup can be found at any Asian Market, or local grocery store. If you can’t find that I suggest using 1-2 Tablespoons of miso paste. Start with one and taste it, then add more to desired taste.

    I am counting calories and would like to know what is a serving of this soup?

      This soup serves 4 with less than 90 calories per serving! I recently changed my recipe plugin which counts calories in the recipe, so previously it showed 157 per serving.

    What would you suggest to substitute the miso? I try to avoid soybean.

    Reply
    • Danielle @ Delightful Mom Food says

      January 21, 2017 at 7:42 pm

      Christy, if you are trying to avoid soybean skip the miso and add these ingreients in addition to the recipe: 1 Tablespoon of chives, 2 Tablespoons of Rice Vinegar (in addition to the apple cider vinegar), 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 more teaspoons of Himalayan salt, 1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms. If you are fine with clam sauce, add 1/3 cup to add that “miso” taste. But it is still good without that.

      One more ingredient I would add is nutritional yeast for omitting soy and tofu. It will also give that miso flavor and add a little extra punch. 2 Tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Plus it is packed with energizing B Vitamins! xx

    I could not find miso powder soup packets.
    Asian store gave me paste. I believe paste is more concentrate, so I used 1 i/4 oz of paste vs. wha I saw online for powder packets 1.05 oz
    hoping this works

      Michele, I have not used the paste. Try a small amount (1 teaspoon then work up to 1 tablespoon) and just add to desired taste. So glad you are making this cabbage soup recipe and thank you for commenting.
