The Cabbage Soup Diet

This classic cabbage soup is a staple for anyone seeking a light, nutrient-dense meal that doesn't compromise on flavour. Packed with a rainbow of fresh vegetables including carrots, green peppers, and celery, this vegan dish is naturally low in fat and incredibly versatile. The combination of simmered greens and tinned tomatoes creates a savoury base that feels both comforting and cleansing, making it an ideal choice for a healthy lunch or a light evening meal.

Customising this soup is easy, allowing you to keep your palate interested throughout the week. You can enjoy it as a rustic, chunky broth or blend it into a smooth, velvety puree. For a bright finish, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lime before serving. Topping the bowl with sliced spring onions or fragrant coriander adds a final layer of freshness to this homemade favourite.
