Steve's cabbage vegetable soup

Steve's cabbage vegetable soup

Ingredients/Shopping list:

1 head green cabbage (Don't use purple! - I have tried it, it is yucky!)

6 green onions (scallions)

2 red bell peppers (green works fine too - but the added color is nice)

1 whole stalk (bunch) of celery

2 large cans chopped tomatoes

1 package (envelope) onion soup mix

3 bullion cubes or equivalent

Instructions:

Chop up all vegetables and put in a 8 quart or larger stock pot or kettle. The size to cut them is from 1/4 inch to 1 inch - just however big you like vegetables in your soup.

Add the 2 cans tomatoes and the 3 bullion cubes (or paste or granules or whatever.)

Stir and add enough water to cover everything.

Bring to a fast boil and boil for 10 minutes. Then reduce the heat to a simmer (slow boil) and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. (The cabbage and celery are the ones to look out for. I like mine cooked for about 30 minutes! Some people like them crispier.)

Add seasoning (like poultry seasoning or additional salt) if desired.

Enjoy a bowl of hot soup. It smells good and tastes good. And it uses more calories to process than it gives your body. This is a negative calorie food!

Let the rest of it cool, and then refrigerate. I like to put mine in pint size jars to make it easy to grab a couple before heading out for the day.
