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.

I'll be honest - I expected this soup to be really healthy but nowhere close to yummy. I was so wrong! I'm detoxing, and this is a great, healthy detox meal! I doubled the recipe, using the following ingredients: one cup sliced carots (equal to three carrots), one cup diced celery (equal to two-thirds of a large rib), four cups of green cabbage (equal to half a large head) and a can of white kidney beans. I skipped the tomato paste as I'm not eating nightshades. I made an Italian-style sofrito by sauting ALL the vegetables in olive oil with the herbs and three bay leaves until they were soft. Then, I added the broth, brought it all to a boil and simmered for about forty-five minutes. The result is a delicous, sweet soup that you'd have to be crazy not to love!

This is fantastic soup. Add the tomato paste before the liquid and let it start to brown, you can smell the depth of flavor this adds. I also make a double batch and add to the leftovers a Tbls. of vinegar and something hot, red pepper flakes, jalajeno, cayenne, whatever I have on hand. The hot and sour leftovers are better than the soup!

I've made this soup twice now. Once with beef broth and once with chicken broth. I think I prefer the chicken. The first time I used some tomato paste and the second time I used some canned diced tomatoes. Again I preferred the 2nd batch. Add whatever seasonings appeal to you. Very tasty.

Perfect- I doubled the recipe and stored in individual portion containers. I actually finely shredded some of the carrot to thicken up the broth. It worked out great! Nice low calorie filler! Thanks!

I didn't know I liked cabbage until I made this! My hubbie and mom keep eating it leaving little for me. I can see I'm going to need to make large batches of this on a regular basis. I subbed a can of Rotel for the tomato paste and added several dashes of hot sauce. Yummy!

Outstanding! I added a pound of sliced Italian Turkey sausage and upped the beef broth by 2 cups. Thanks
