Does anyone have any GOOD recipes for Cabbage Soup? It's cheap right now (cabbage), and I'd like to make some. Cabbage IS low-carb, right? Robert > Does anyone have any GOOD recipes for Cabbage Soup?

Seasoned with salt and pepper only. We just took it out and it was fabulous! He also makes what we called boiled dinner - cabbage, onions, carrots, and smoked sausage. The cabbage makes a great tasting broth. We used to put potatos in it BA. Marsha/Ohio Carrots are high-carb though like potatoes.... Thats what I've always been told! But, it does sound good. I'll try it. Robert > > Does anyone have any GOOD recipes for Cabbage Soup? It's cheap right now > > (cabbage), and I'd like to make some.

Yep, they are - 1 medium carrot has 5 carbs, according to Atkins. But SO only adds 2-3 chopped up carrots for the whole batch and I have only a couple piees at a time. They do add a wonderful flavor to the whole thing. Marsha/Ohio They are not as high as potatoes and have lots of good vitamins. Just eat them in moderation. I just cooked a corned beef yesterday with cabbage, carrots and potatoes for my SO. I limit myself to one carrot, about 7 grams carb less 2 fiber for 5 net.

Corned beef and cabbage. She used to always add alot of potatoes.. So no longer can add that. It should still taste good. All these recipes you all shared, I copied and pasted. Going to put them on index cards and add to my recipe box. Yummy. I love messing around making soups. There are so many different ways. The cabbage does add a great flavor to soups, the broth is good. I make cabbage rolls, except I usually use canned tomatoes with garlic, parsly..whatever seasonings come to mind when cooking.. and then pour it over the cabbage rolls while they cook. I no longer add the rice either. Its similair to stuffed green peppers. I havn't made them since low carbing, because not sure on the canned tomatoes? Would they be a problem, like the carb count? I have made my stuffed peppers substituting cauliflower for the rice. This is my favorite recipe for them: Mexican Hamburger-Stuffed Green Peppers 4 large green peppers 1 lb. hamburger 1/3 c. chopped onion 1/3 c. chopped celery 3 c. cooked rice for LC substitute cauliflower that has been cooked and cut up 1 c. salsa 2 t. chopped green chilies 2 c. shredded Monterey jack & cheddar cheese mix 1/4 c. salsa Cut tops off peppers & remove seeds. Put in boiling water & boil 6 min. Remove & set aside. Combine hamburger, onion, & celery & cook until done. Drain off grease. Stir in rice, 1-c. salsa & chilies. Fill peppers with hamburger mixture. Arrange in pan. Top with cheese & salsa. Put a little water in pan. Cover tightly. Bake at 350? for 45 - 55 min. Four servings, each at 606 cal., fat 42 g, carb 21-6fiber=net15, protein 36g. Calculations from Fitday, may vary according to brand of salsa.

Thanks for sharing it! The salsa sounds great too. I picked some up at the store, said its also made with artichokes? Should work. > Does anyone have any GOOD recipes for Cabbage Soup?

Here is one I created, there are no amounts to the ingredients, I just eyeball them. For LC go easy on the carrots and onions, heavy on the cabbage. The mushrooms I use are dried Shiitakes that come in a big jar from Costco, soak them for a while before you start. The whole thing takes about a half hour of simmering. It's a very interesting combination of flavors. I use Minor's soup bases, they are the best I have ever tried, available at www.soupbase.com Chicken Cabbage Soup Chicken breasts cut up Carrots Celery Onions Garlic Chicken soup base Cabbage Shiitake mushrooms Fresh ginger slices Caraway seeds (a few) Dash of hot pepper flakes In news:pE55c.234641$B81.3228802@twister.tampabay.rr.com, Robert <roberthuss-NOSPAM@msn.com> stated | Does anyone have any GOOD recipes for Cabbage Soup? It's cheap right | now (cabbage), and I'd like to make some. | | Cabbage IS low-carb, right? | | Robert Here's my SO's favorite soup. The only problem with it is that it has the carby pinto beans. I haven't tried making it without, I just limit the amount I eat, but it probably could be made without them and maybe increase the cabbage. Calculations are from FitDay, your sausage, etc., may vary. Numbers after ingredients are carbs for each--total-fiber=net. The original recipe contains the sugar, I have always just left it out as my SO doesn't like the sweetness. I also use a can of Rotel tomatoes (tomatoes with jalapenos in them, there are other brands as well) for the diced tomatoes and then don't need the jalapeno. Sausage Soup Ol? 1 lb. smoked sausage(cut in 1 in. slices, or diced, as you prefer) 12 1 can(14-15 oz.)stewed tomatoes 27-4=23 1 can(14-15 oz.) sliced or diced tomatoes in juice 14 1 can(15-16 oz.)pinto beans, undrained 65-20=45 1 can(14 oz.) chicken broth 1/2 of a medium head of cabbage, chopped fairly large 25-10=15 1 Tbs. chili powder 4-3=1 (2 tsp. sugar or substitute) 8 if used 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 0 1 medium size onion, chopped 9-2=7 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 TOTAL 168-39=129, makes approx 3 quarts, 6 2-cup servings. Per serving 426 cals, 29 g fat, 21 net carbs, 17 g protein. Put all ingredients in soup pot. This will look to thick to be soup, but will become less thick as cabbage cooks down. Lower heat and simmer from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how soft you prefer your cabbage. by MarieAnn > Here's my SO's favorite soup.

Eden makes them, although they're harder to find (IME) than the black soy beans they sell. Very low carb. Priscilla >Does anyone have any GOOD recipes for Cabbage Soup?

Makes 6 servings –– 3.5 effective grams of carbohydrate per serving. > Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup (lowcarbluxury.com) [snip] Now, that's a keeper! Thanks! Priscilla get pork of beef with good amount of fat, cut in small pieces, boil shred cabbage, slice carots, add a bit of potatoes (however much your diet allows), add a few green peas, add into the mixture, boil for about 20 minutes. i > Does anyone have any GOOD recipes for Cabbage Soup?

It's cheap right now | (cabbage), and I'd like to make some. Do a google search. Lots of good recipes here. eff I love shredded cabbage and onions sauteed in butter served with kielbasa..... but here's one of my fav soups: Cabbage soup thai style, not sure of the measurements, it just makes a huge pot. shredded cabbage 1 can stewed tomatoes 1 small onion 1 can straw mushrooms (do not drain) 1 can pineapple chunks (do not drain) 1 small can sliced bamboo shoots (drained) 4 cups chicken broth, 4 cups water (told you it makes a big pot) you can add chicken or shrimp or leave it veggetarian. 1 T Tom Yum soup base. or use 1 whole red chili pepper bring all ingredients to full boil. add large handfuls of fresh beansprouts. turn off heat. garnish with chopped cilantro. this is no fail, add veggies that you do like, take out what you don't like. good luck Diem > Does anyone have any GOOD recipes for Cabbage Soup?

First fixing wasn't soup but turned out great: fresh brussel sprouts quartered, curry powder, salt, butter, liquid from old sour cream, microwave on 50%. Wonderful, savory, all the liquid cooked away leaving some leaves carameled like in a sauted basil dish at a Thai restaurant. Tried it again with fresh sour cream. Somehow this had more liquid and came out as soup, but good. Skinny -- pre-diab hypo |
