If you’re looking for healthy recipes, try this original detox cabbage soup diet recipe! With tons of cabbage, celery, onion, and other vegetables, you’ll forget it’s supposed to be healthy! This soup comes together quickly and requires only a few ingredients.
I’m not big on diets. I make or eat recipes that appeal to me. Simply put, it can be too difficult otherwise. However, there are times when you want to lose a few pounds quickly or do a detox. This Detox Cabbage Soup Diet Recipe is ideal for those occasions.
It’s important to note that eating only this soup for a long time is not a good idea for your health. You may be lacking in other essential nutrients or not getting enough calories. Always consult a doctor before embarking on a drastic course of action, just in case.
HOW TO MAKE THE ORIGINAL DETOX CABBAGE RECIPE FOR SOUP DIET?
Cook the onions, celery, and peppers in a large pot with some oil over medium-high heat. Cook until the onions, celery, and peppers are translucent and soft.
Add garlic – Cook until the garlic is fragrant, then add the remaining spices.
Add the remaining ingredients – Cook until the cabbage is tender, then add the stock, cabbage, and tomatoes. This should take approximately 10-15 minutes.
Adjust as needed and serve – Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve and enjoy!
TOP TIPS AND RECIPE CHANGES
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep frozen for up to two months in an airtight container.
Allow the Detox Cabbage Soup to thaw before reheating it in the microwave or over the stove in a small boiling pot.
Don’t add any other ingredients – Normally, I would say to add whatever vegetables and other ingredients you want. This soup, on the other hand, contains detoxifying ingredients. If those ingredients are changed, the recipe’s effectiveness may suffer. If you’re only interested in the soup and don’t care about the detox, add whatever vegetables you want!
Make large batches – If you have a large enough pot, you can easily make large batches of this soup. It’s ideal for freezing and storing for later use.
Broth substitute – If desired, replace the chicken broth with another type of broth. Please keep in mind that this will alter the flavor of the soup.
Make it vegan – To make this soup vegan, substitute vegetable stock for the chicken stock. There is nothing else in this soup that is not vegan.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A DETOX SOUP?
This detox soup, like any detox drink or supplement, cleanses the body. This means it flushes out toxins and junk that have accumulated in your body. During the detox, avoid eating anything other than the soup and drink plenty of water. In fact, drink more water than usual. This will keep your body thoroughly flushed, allowing the soup to do its job as effectively as possible.
IS THE 7-DAY SOUP DIET EFFECTIVE?
This quick diet is designed to help you lose a few pounds while also cleansing your body. So, if done correctly, it is very effective. However, don’t expect to lose a lot of weight in just seven days. Furthermore, do not plan on going for more than 7 days on such a strict diet without first consulting with your doctor. If this is attempted, you may experience some extreme reactions from your body. This is not a long-term diet, but rather a quick cleanse to lose some water weight and a few pounds.
