A while back, I was involved in a discussion about weight loss and recipes & someone said something like, “You don’t want to be stuck eating cabbage soup, do you?” I was like, “Oh my gosh, Original Fat Burning Cabbage Soup? I love that stuff!” And so help me, I do! I love this old recipe.

I usually make this soup at least a couple of times a year, but I have it more often because there’s usually some in my freezer. Actually, usually, there’s a lot of soup in my freezer because I love love love me some soup. Check out my menu of Soups, Chowders & Chili. You’ll see what I’m talking about! But back to the Fat Burning Soup.

Making The Original Fat Burning Cabbage Soup:

This makes a huge pot of soup. Pull out your largest stock or soup pot. In a pinch, you can divide everything into two pots. I sometimes half the recipe and it’s not so particular that you need exact measurements of everything. This is an easy dump everything in the pot recipe; the only change I’ve made from the original is I add the green beans (when I use them, see below) at the end. They’re already pretty soft and don’t need to cook long.

This tomato and cabbage soup was rumored, in days of old, to melt away those thighs.

I really liked this soup. It’s even better the next day and lasts forever. It made tons and I had it a little over a week. Never went bad and I never got sick of eating it!

This was awesome. it was so yummy and healthy too. i replaced the beans with corn, but that’s about it. it’s better than a lot of full fat soup i’ve tasted. it’s really simple too. i advise you to try it.

Saving Money on The Original Fat Burning Cabbage Soup:

As written, the Original Fat Burning Cabbage Soup is already downright economical. All the veggies and ingredients are common, everyday items. Making your own Lipton Onion Soup Mix saves a bit of money, and also allows you to easily customize the quality or type of ingredients in the soup. This can be low-sodium, vegan, vegetarian, etc., just by varying the homemade soup mix and the type of broth you use.

Do watch for sales on the pantry items, the tomatoes, the broth, and the juices. There’s really no reason to be paying full price on those items when they can be easily picked up on sale and stashed until needed. All of these pantry items usually hit a low sales price about once a quarter, so if you know your pricing, you’ll know when a deal comes around that makes it good enough to stock up on. You’ll find low prices for a lot of these items at Aldi, or at Costco (in bulk packages) but a good store sales price usually beats either.
