The Famous Cabbage Soup Diet Weight Loss
1 head cabbage
6 medium onions
6 spring onions
6 carrots
2 green or red peppers
3 large tomatoes
5 stalks celery, trimmed
4 oz (110 g) uncooked brown rice
salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Cut the vegetables into small pieces. Place in a large pott and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to boil and then simmer uncovered for about ten minutes.
Cover, and then simmer on a low heat until the vegetables are soft. (Old cabbage soup recipe versions say, that this should take about an hour – newer researches know that this is too long as the vitamins will vanish! 10 – 15 minutes simmer time is more then enough!)
While the soup is simmering cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet. Add the rice when the soup is cooked. Season to taste with salt, preferably low-sodium and pepper.
Special Tip: Cool and then keep in the fridge, or freeze
