cabbage soup

[blind ear]

 Anyone have a cabbage soup recipe that has beans or other protien low carb ingredients for a diet soup. I have one for a bean  with a tomato soup base but I want something for variety. The cabbage soup that I make has onion soup for the base. thanks . ear

R99, thanks that sounds good. I might add extra chicken or beef stock or onion consume as the liqiud to make it have some  soup to it, if needed. ear

i accidently came upon that trying to
duplicate my buddy's wife cabbage
recipe that she wouldn't tell me
how to make.
only one problem i know of.
i eat way too much of it.

First - beans are NOT low carb.  Half a cup of white beans, cooked, has about 28 grams of carbs.

Now,

Get some olive oil heating in your pot, chop up an onion or two, add to pot, stir it a bit.  While that is going, chop or slice up carrots (stir the pot) and celery.  Add to pot, stir.  Grate in some garlic, as much as you like.  Stir.  Chop your cabbage (stir the pot several times while doing that).  Add to pot and stir.  Add water or beef or chicken stock to cover by an inch or two.  Add your soaked beans, or canned beans (I like navy beans, but just about any other than black will work - black too, if you don't mind a funny color).  If using canned, go ahead and add your salt and pepper now, otherwise wait 'til the beans are cooked, then season.  I like dill and thyme in my cabbage soup.  Also a touch of tobasco and some cider vinegar.  A bottle of beer into it doesn't hurt either.

You could also use split peas or lentils. 

Also, look up borscht recipes - real peasant borscht is basically cabbage and beat soup, nice and chunky, not the thin blended and strained stuff.

subdjoe, OK, "slow" carb and not white starch or sugars, (potatoes, rice, carrots, beets). thanks for the recipe. ear

My pleasure.  We got a shock about the carbs one Lent when we went from using meat to legumes for our protein. My wifes blood sugars went sky high.  Then we read the nutritional info.  Went back to eating meat, just not as much.

Yep, If you don't have DM and you eat the slow carb soup for breakfast you will have a sugar crash, (hyypoglycemia),  about 10 or 11 in the AM. Weak, sweat and grouchy. Have to get more soup or protien pronto. It works for a lose weight diet but you have to eat more often. ear
