This is not a raw recipe as the soup is cooked but, it is very good for you and will help greatly as part of the 7-day cabbage soup diet ( a temporary jump start to good eating) good soup for weight loss and blood sugar control is the cabbage soup diet soup. Another EC contributor suggested to break up the manotony was to put the soup in a blender while warm enough to eat. What a difference! It was yum-yum. I had to make some personal revisions, but I'll explain:

1 head of cabbage I bunch of celery

3 large fresh tomatoes/10-15oz. can tomatoes

1 bunch green onions 1 large onion

1 bell pepper 1 pkg. dried french onion soup

approx. 6 cups water 1 or 2 cloves of garlic

there are other variations but this is closest to the original. My recipe differs in that: 1) as it cooks I sub can chicken or beef broth and add water instead of the onion soup packet 2) I delete the tomato as the tomato /cabbage combo gives me heartburn. 3) I take 1 tbsp olive oil and sautee the garlic and onion first. 4) right before the blender I add my spices sage, parsley, blackpepper.

***** warning--if you have gallbladder issues delete the cabbage, I did not know cabbage can bring on a gallbladder attack**** (gallbladderattack.com)

using the blender method gives it a completely different taste and it brought my bs down from 180 to 100.

God Bless! Kelly
