Weight Watcher’s Cabbage Soup – Sweet and Sour
By: Dorie's Lori
Sep 7, 2006
This was originally a WW recipe, from, I am guessing, the early 70s. I am pretty sure it has been altered somewhat, but it is super-easy and very tasty. We make it often in spite of its low calorie/low fat attributes 
. My Nana always had a pot of it on the back burner because it was a “free” food, and boy, did the house smell good! Makes lots, but freezes well, also.
SERVES 18
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cabbage
- 6 large celery ribs
- 1 lb carrot
- 4 onions
- 2 (28 ounce) cans tomatoes with juice
- 1 (46 ounce) can tomato juice (or V8)
- 6-8 beef bouillon cubes
- 1 teaspoon citric acid (sour salt)
- 4 (1 g) packets Sweet 'n Low or another sweetener
- black pepper
- salt, if desired (optional)
Directions
1
Cut up all the veggies, put everything in a very large pot, cover with water, and cook at least 3 hours, until everything is very soft.2
Taste for seasoning – judge sour and sweet separately to see weather to add more citric acid or sweetener. I usually do add plenty more of each, until it is delicious.3
Notes:.4
Don’t even bother cutting the core out of the cabbage – it cooks down with everything else and will be delicious. Really.5
Measurements can be approximate. Feel free to adjust for what you like or have on hand. I know I always have a glass of the juice before pouring it into the pot ;-) Speaking of the juice, I don't remember it being part of the original recipe, but I always add it for tomatoey taste and body.6
Sometimes, my Nana added green peppers. Her recipe also mentioned to serve with “rice and veal balls”, although I don’t actually remember her doing this. What could be bad?.7
When I am not on a diet, I add brown sugar instead of the sweet-and-low.8
Oops - I Totally had to Estimate how many servings. But this does mostly fill my 10 quart pot, and then cook off a little, so I will est. 18 servings - your mileage will vary;-).

This was really good soup!! Made a large batch and it smelled wonderful!!! I didn't have any citric acid but did add some balsamic vinegar instead. This turned out really good and will help me to continue in my WW journey!! Thanks Dorie's Lori!

I remember this soup from when I was a kid. I had a hankering for it (plus I had a ton of cabbage!) I used bok choy for the celery (had on hand), 1 large onion, fresh tomatoes, no citric acid, Sucanat for sugar, balsamic vinegar (from the cabbage soup diet recipe), added garlic powder (too lazy to chop fresh!) I added in 2-3 cups of chicken broth and then enough water to cover. Only cooked it 2 hours. I blended some for my kids, but they still didn't like it. I'll add a little more sugar next time. Very easy, just a lot of chopping. Thanks! BTW, it made a ton!

This was good! I dumped everything (without measuring, even) into a pressure cooker and within half an hour my soup was ready! I always have sour salt in the house and love the flavor it adds to cabbagy-tomato-ey foods. I didn't use sweetener but went for broke and used about 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. My daughter thought this tasted like stuffed cabbage soup! I think I'm going to make it again with little meatballs in it, it should be a hit! Thanks, DL, it's great!
