• With the optional salt added, each serving has 70 calories with 0 calories from fat. It has 0 g fat, 4 g Fiber, 0 mg Cholesterol. 470 mg Sodium, 2 g Protein, 16 g Total Carbohydrates, and 10 g Sugar.
• Before experimenting with the soup, I suggest you make the first batch exactly to get the nutritional values, and to also see how you really will not need to improve on it. It is delicious, it has some bite from the spices, it is filling and has no annoying cabbage taste, It is really comforting and full of flavor.
• For the Soup mix, I use Lipton's Recipe Selects. They come in a box with two 10 ounce envelopes. For the cabbage, use a food processor or buy in a bag pre-shredded. 4 cups is about 1/2 head of a large cabbage. Where I live it is hard to find the Tomato Juice, but it is made by Campbell's. Sacramento brand has too much sodium. However, I find that the Vegetable Broth/Stock works just fine and is easier to get. For the canned tomatoes, you can also use canned Stewed tomatoes if they're available in low sodium.
• Perfect for Lunch or Dinner when dieting with Low-Fat wheat crackers or a sandwich, and some sliced fruit.

Steps:

• Add all the vegetables (down to celery) to a large pot with a little water. Cover and get them cooking to soften 'em up.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the garlic, oil, and herbs.
• When the onion is translucent (after about 5-7 minutes) remove the lid to let most of the extra water evaporate. When it has, add the garlic mixture and stir well.
• Cover again and let vegetables caramelize a little, stirring every minute or so for 2-3 minutes.
• When they're starting to smell really good (but before they stick and burn!), add the salt, pepper, liquids, beans, tomato paste and soy sauce. Stir well and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and let simmer gently for 20 minutes.
• If desired, add the chopped greens a few minutes before serving. Take the pot off the heat, stir them in and cover the pot to let them wilt instead of getting overcooked and mushy.
• Ladle it up and enjoy!
