 SOUPS

Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 large yellow onions, chopped
  • 2-3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 carrots, grated
  • 2 green peppers, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 zucchini, seeded and diced

  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • ½ head of cabbage, shredded

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a heavy bottom pot, sauté onion in olive oil just until soft. Add celery, carrots, peppers, and zucchini and continue to sauté just until vegetables begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add cabbage and garlic and cook just until cabbage begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, and seasonings. Stir to combine.
  3. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook until cabbage is tender, about 25-30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve in temp-tations® bowls.  

Tara’s Tidbits®: My mom’s friend Pat revived this recipe that was the basis of a diet back in the 80s. She added some seasoning and the zucchini and we all can’t get enough. It’s tasty AND healthy—what more could you ask for?
