Preparation Notes: 1. I could not find fat-free beef broth, but I did find and use 99% fat free beef broth 2. I used a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to satuee the onions (I don’t care for cooking spray) 3. Instead of using fresh carrots, green beans and zucchini, I used frozen vegetables. 4. Instead of dried basil and oregano, I use fresh herbs. 5. If you add more vegetables than the recipe calls for, then you will need more beef-broth Here is my modified recipe: (keep in mind that I doubled the recipe) 8 cups, 99% fat-free beef broth (two large cans) 3 garlic cloves, minced 1/3 small can tomato paste (adjust to your preference of a “tomato-ee” taste 2/3 small head of cabbage, chopped 1 small yellow onion 1 small bag of frozen, crinkle cut carrots (Kroger Brand) 1 small bag of frozen green beans (Kroger Brand) 1 small bag of mixed vegetables, including carrots, lima beans, zucchini, and cauliflower (Kroger Brand) 2 tablespoon, fresh chopped basil 2 tablespoon, fresh chopped oregano Salt & pepper to taste I followed the preparation directions, except I let the soup simmer for about two hours – I have no idea how they could have cooked this recipe (especially with fresh vegetables) for only 10-15 minutes!

I can't say that I really make this soup because I add and change the recipe quite a bit. I always add more vegies, mainly whatever I have around (I really like fennel in this recipe). I typically throw in a bay leaf and quite often add about 1/4 c. fresh rosemary. The whole tomato paste can normally goes into the soup too. It's always best the second day. Great place to start! Thank you!

I made this today but did it in my crockpot. It turned out wonderful. I am going to freeze it in individual portions to take out for lunch and before dinner. UPDATE!!!!! I have been eating this for lunch out of the freezer baggies and it is wonderful even after being frozen. I have another batch in my crockpot right now but this time I added yellow squash instead of zucchini and more garlic. This is wonderful and so healthy since I am now trying to lower my cholesterol.

I have the flu right now. I live in Morocco and got hubby Mohamed to make this for me. We didn't have green beans, basil or oregano so he spiced it using red sweet paprika, a pinch of ground ginger and plenty of fresh black pepper! It was sooo good! I think I wil get the flu again! He also used red onion as that is the onion in season at the moment.
