I made this soup today, and the only thing I did different was to add the cabbage instead of spinach..I just don't personally like it, but the cabbage, I'm sure won't change the taste much, if you want to try something different..This is an excellent update, from the original "cabbage soup diet" I tried many years ago..It has much more flavor, and my oldest son even enjoys it occasionally!!!

    Made as directed and LOVED it! My teenage daughter and I have been eating this for five days and following a Med-Rim diet: olives, olive oil, hummus, almonds, avocadoes,--healthy monounstaturated fats and lean proteins. We've lost 11 pounds in five days: she lost 7 and 4 for me! I can easily fit this into my eating and cooking routine and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Thanks for the great recipe.

    Great! I love all these veggies. I even added a few frozen peas and a cup each of turnip and rutabaga. I didn't have leeks, so I used onion and that worked out good. I also added 2 cans of beef broth and used beef boullion, just because my husband will eat it better if it's got a beefy taste. It has a lot of veggie flavor, we really liked it! Thanks Jo Ann, for another keeper!

    This soup is excellent!! The only changes I made were: I substituted some of the water for low fat vegetable broth and one can of Tomato soup. It was easy to make. I take one cup of this to work and have it for my lunch. Really delicious.
