Cabbage Soup Diet Best Recipe

The cabbage soup diet best recipe may depend on what you like in your soup. The cabbage soup diet is a quick way to lose 10 pounds in a week. Now weight loss like that is faster than what you can lose long-term. Really about one to two pounds a week is all you can expect to lose over a longer period of time. But it sure is encouraging to see the scales drop in a hurry for a few days.

Use the cabbage soup diet as a quick way to see some results but combine it with lifestyle changes to lose all the weight you want to lose.

Cabbage soup is a filler in the diet, but I'm here to say that cabbage soup can be fine eating if it's done right.

Following is a recipe by my favorite cook. This one has been tested by me and this is best in my book...at least until I get to test another one.

Kathy's Best Cabbage Soup

In a stock pot add:

• 2 quarts chicken broth
• 1 minced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 diced sweet potatoes (peeled)
• 1 grated small head cabbage
• 2 chopped celery stalks

Bring to a boil and then simmer 15 minutes.

Salt and pepper to taste. Have Tabasco sauce at the table.

Top with sour cream if that's on your diet.

Make chicken broth when you have chicken the next time. Cover leftover chicken bones with water. Bring to a boil and then lower heat and simmer for four hours. Remove bones. Then refrigerate broth.

Make up your own cabbage soup diet best recipe using these proportions as a guide. For example you could substitute carrots for sweet potatoes.
