I've made this 2 nights running cause it's so good. It used to call for 1/2 cup marg but I found
my recipe works great with just the butter flavoured cooking spray. Weight Watchers value 4 points
per serving. I've been making this since the early 60's.

MY CABBAGE SOUP

POINTS® value | 4 Servings | 4

soups |

Ingredients

1/2 medium head green cabbage 5 large onion(s) 5 medium uncooked potato(es) 28 oz canned diced
tomatoes 4 cup water 1 serving butter-flavor cooking spray

Instructions

In a large pot, fry onion and cabbage in spray slowly til tender and brown.( I don't let it get
too brown) About 25 minutes. Boil potatoes til cooked in the water. Add tomatoes and fried onion
and cabbage. Season to taste. Simmer 30 minutes. Hubby likes meat in his so I throw in some frozen
meatballs. When the soup is all together I add some magi, beef broth powder, salt, celery leaves
(dried), Worcestershire sauce and lots of pepper

Thanks for posting this, Helen! I can always use another good home- tested WW-oriented recipe, and
this one sounds much better than their current published "Cabbage Soup" recipe. Only 4 points makes
it even better! I joined WW the day after Thanksgiving. I'm down 25.6 lbs as of Week 8 weign-in (7
weeks on the plan) and 1.4 lbs away from my 10%, but it's still a long road ahead. This time I plan
to keep my lifetime member status when I get there! If you're still working at yours, or better
still, at goal, best of luck!!!

sounds very nice, One of the things we do is flat out keep boiled cabbage,
plain mind you so that we can make different soup every day, at the end of
the week we usually make similar to this with the frig veg leftovers. I
love cabbage any way it is prepared, Lee

Thanks Wayne; I down from 225 to 190. Want to get down to at least 145. Best wishes on your journey.
You CAN do it! BTW, my corned beef turned out great. The veggies not, but due to my own mistake. I
cooked them in the brine, misreading the recipe. But the meat was super!

Way to go, Helen! WE will do it! Glad you liked the corned beef, but too bad about the veggies. I
usually cook them in the same pot and liquid that I'm cooking the beef. I imagine the brine was
probably too salty. Well, we learn through experience I guess. I've certainly made worse blunders.

I suppose we all have. Actually my hubby said it's the only meal he can remember that was bad. Not
bad for 20 years of cooking for him.
