I have made this most of my life without the butter and even got my kids addicted to it. Many strangers outside of my family thought we were all weird but I guess we aren't too weird after all. It's really tasty when you add banana sliced lengthwise on it too. My son even got his girlfriend addicted to these. He likes me to pick up raw honey at the public market once in awhile for his sandwiches.

I have made this numerous times, only changing up a few things. I add already seasoned diced tomatoes. Be wary of using dry onion soup mix because it has added salt which is not good, instead substitute 1/4 cup minced onion, 2 tablespoons low sodium dry instant beef broth and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. To make mine soupy, I add 2 cans of tomato bisque soup to mine, about 5 cups of water. I also add a couple dashes of garlic powder and 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper. Tomatoes are known to help satisfy hunger so you can eat this whenever you feel hungry and it doesn't ruin your diet. I like the added slight "spice" of the red pepper. Cabbage-soup-diet.com will give you the details of the 7 day diet and helpful tips to doing the diet the right way. I am beginning day 3 of the diet and I have lost 5 pounds already. Mind you...It does warrant having access to a bathroom. I sure am missing my coffee (with creamer) though.

I have been making this for family meals for a few years now because it's always requested. I got the recipe from a cookbook and there it calls for additional ingredients (1/2 tsp. paprika and 1/4 tsp. dry mustard). It's always a hit!
