Easy Stuffed Cabbage Soup

Submitted by Pam-I-Am

"This recipe adapted to help me stick to a 'good' carb eating program for weight loss. The whole family loves it! Very easy to make too! Note: You can substitute canned beef broth for the 'beef base' if you want. I also recommend the low-sodium kind. Also, once the rice is cooked through, if it looks like more water is needed, go ahead and add it to your liking."

This is a simple but good soup. With a few changes it was very good. I followed the recipe as written other then I only used 6 cups of water. I thought it was a bit bland so added a total of 8 beef boullion cubes. I used a 16 ounce bag of coleslaw mix and didn't add the zucchini as I didn't have any. I also added a good bit of pepper. The longer this sits, the better it is. We really enjoyed this with the changes made.

We really enjoyed this soup, I used the hand blender to puree it for the kids as they are funny about veggies but they both ate it all!!! It was a nice tasting easy to make soup, I used real onion instead of the dried flakes. Thanks for a yummy soup recipe.
