Easy Cabbage Soup Recipe

This super healthy, vitamin rich, high antioxidant, low fat, low calorie soup is the bomb!  Plus it's so easy to make, and doesn't require a lot of ingredients.  This has been a favorite soup since I was young (Thanks Mom).

Cabbage Soup: for a large pot (lessen ingredients for smaller quantity)

• 1 head raw cabbage, chopped
• 1 head raw broccoli (or cauliflower), cut into small florets
• 2 gold potatoes, cut into small cubes
• 2 large cans tomato juice
• 1 can vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
• Adobe seasoning
• Turmeric seasoning

Put all above ingredients into large pot and cover with lid, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook (stirring occasionally) until veggies are cooked to preferred texture.

I like to add a little protein to my bowl to make it a complete meal, so I add a little chopped veggie meat (tofu or veggie sausage).  You can add whatever protein you like, but try to keep it lean.  A little Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top is a nice treat too.
