Detox Cabbage Soup

This Slow Cooker Detox Cabbage Soup is a really easy, surprisingly filling, low-calorie, veggie-packed, and delicious recipe that's a great way to kick off your system cleanse!  The soup is light, but filling with cabbage, tomato, carrots, onion, and garlic.  The huge time saver is that it's made in the slow cooker, but you can make it faster on the stove as well (see notes).  It is so good for you and so low calorie, that this makes a great dinner, lunch the next day, and snack whenever you get hungry!

Recipe Notes

  1. For this Detox Soup Recipe in the Slow Cooker, I like to use Green Cabbage as it’s thick and sturdy for the long cooking time. You could also use a red cabbage, savoy cabbage, or napa cabbage. You could also use other vegetables from the cabbage family, such as brussels sprouts or bok choy!
  2. Stove Top instructions:  You can make this Cabbage Soup on the stove instead of the slow cooker if you prefer. Start with the onions and carrots, adding them to a large dutch oven or soup pot with olive oil over medium heat. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer on the stove for 45-60 minutes, until the veggies reach your desired texture. Or you can place the dutch oven covered in the oven at 375 degrees for an hour.
