Preparation
Step 1
Basic fat burning soup. The soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat the more you will lose. Fill thermos in the morning to take with you if you will be away during the day. The Cabbage Soup Diet WORKS and helps you lose weight fast. After you drop that weight, you’ll be looking and feeling great…and the key is to NOT gain it back later, right?
1 package spice only soup mix (In the US, Liptons is a good choice)
Directions
Slice green onions, put in a pot on medium heat and start to sauté with cooking spray. Do this until the onions are whiter/clearer in color (about 4-6 minutes).
Cut green pepper stem end off, then cut pepper in half to take out the seeds and membrane. Cut the green pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot.
Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.
Clean carrots, mushrooms, and celery, cut into bite size pieces and toss them in. Add tomatoes now, too.
If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.
For seasonings, you can use a spice soup packet of your choice (no noodles!) or use beef or chicken bouillon cubes. These cubes are optional, and you can add spices you like instead (make sure not to add much salt, if any at all).
Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the 48 oz of Low Sodium V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup simmer for a long time – about 2 hours or until vegetables are tender

This soup would help detox, that's for sure. But, make sure you are healthy enough to enjoy the week of soup… the V-8 spicy tomato juice is a great alternative. Congrats U-First for keeping the weight off. After I made the soup jjayjjay, I didn't want to see another head of cabbage. I didn't get to the eating part!
