Want to lose a few pounds? Try this Cabbage Soup for 7 Days!
For a long time I have seen many people do those quick 7 or 10 day diets to lose a quick 10. I decided to try, and let me tell you that I have lost a pound per day so far and the soup is not bad at all, I am actually really enjoying it. I don't know how much I will enjoy it after 7 days but anyway, here it is.
Ingredients
1/2 of a head of cabbage
4 carrots
6 green onions
1 green bell pepper
As much celery as you want
2 cups of mushrooms whole or sliced
2 8 oz cans of whole or diced tomatoes (you can use fresh tomatoes as well)
2 chicken or beef bouillon cubes
1/2 teaspoon of oregano
Salt to your taste.
Remember that you will need to make sufficient soup to last you 7 days, eating twice a day, so add sufficient water, and you can also add more of the veggies. In a large stock pot bring the water to a boil and then add all the ingredients. Add the oregano salt and reduce heat to medium-high and cook until the vegetables are tender. Taste the soup and adjust the salt and spices according to your need.
Have the soup for lunch and dinner, accompany with salad or fruits except bananas. Do not eat anything else.
Even though this is diet soup it is very tasty, it can accompany any meal even if you are not on a diet.
Enjoy
