Amazing Vegetable Soup (South Beach Diet) image

This was posted by a fellow SBDer, Mamacita, in the 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet boards. It's a wonderfully delicious, simple, vegetable soup. It originally called for zucchini, but I leave it out as I dislike summer squash. Feel free to add some in if you like, though. I sometimes add in a can of navy beans, rinsed and drained, with the tomatoes. For South Beach Diet, make sure your tomatoes have no added sugar. It makes quite a bit, but it reheats fairly well--or you can cool and freeze it. Don't be afraid of the garlic--it mellows out a lot during cooking.

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts chicken broth or 2 quarts vegetable broth
1 small head green cabbage, shredded (I use angel hair shredded cabbage) or 1 (10 ounce) bag shredded cabbage for Coleslaw (I use angel hair shredded cabbage)
1 head celery, washed and sliced
1 leek, rinsed, trimmed, and sliced thinly
5 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 cup fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch rounds (I leave out)
1 medium summer squash, cut into 1/4 inch rounds (I leave out)
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can navy beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
shredded parmesan cheese, optional garnish (optional)
basil pesto, optional garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine broth, cabbage, celery, leek, garlic, and green beans in an 8-quart soup pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until green beans are just tender.
  • Add tomatoes, zucchini, and squash (and navy beans, if using) and cook an additional 45 minutes.
  • Serve hot, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese or with a spoonful of pesto stirred in, as desired.
