Vegetarian Cabbage Soup
"I adapted the soup from the "Cabbage soup diet" to make it more flavourful and also vegetarian. It's filling, good, low in calories and fat, and is a great winter warm up."

dry onion soup mix is made with beef broth, that is what makes it brown. you might want to find a vegetarian onion soup instead. -
Its not necessarily true about the dry soup mix, check the ingredients. I have a store brand and it has hydrolyzed soy and caramel coloring, no beef. If you were to make onion soup from scratch the color would come from the caramelized onion, not beef broth.

Wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be. Too salty,no one finished their bowl. -
This is one of the better cabbage soups. There is a lot of flavor and great balance of flavor. Also love the healthiness and low calories. Made as written cutting in half and was thrilled to see it came out thick more like a stew consistency. Next time will make full batch and freeze half. Thanks so much for the post. -
Very good and filling soup. I divided the ingredients by half and put everything in a crockpot - on low for 8 hours. Delicious with bread and butter. Made for Veg'n Tag October 2009. Thanks for sharing!

This soup gives a lot. But I'll have enough for my lunches at work for the week LOL I made a few changes. I omitted the garlic. I used 4 cups of water, and no vegetable broth, cause instead of tomato juice, I used a 56 ounces of garden cocktail juice. So it has a lot of flavours with that. And I didn't add more seasoning. No salt was needed. I used grated cabbage cause I had some in the fridge. It's very healthy and tastes great. Thanks Katzen. Made for Holiday tag

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
