Weight Watchers Cabbage Soup
Description
This Weight Watchers Cabbage Soup begins by sautéing diced carrots, celery, onion, and garlic in olive oil until softened. Beef or vegetable broth is added along with canned diced tomatoes and dried herbs such as basil and oregano, creating a robust flavored base. After bringing the soup to a light boil, cabbage, cauliflower rice, and green beans are stirred in and the soup is simmered until the cabbage is tender.
The combination of fresh and frozen vegetables provides a mix of textures, with the cabbage breaking down slightly to enrich the broth and the cauliflower rice adding subtle body without heaviness. The herbs and tomatoes balance the savory broth, making this soup both filling and light.
Serve warm as a wholesome low-calorie meal option that can be enjoyed alone or with a side. Fresh chopped parsley adds a bright garnish and fresh flavor at serving.
Leftover soup stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days and should be reheated gently over medium heat, maintaining its texture and flavor.
