I love this soup. I make it a few times each winter, since I found the recipe on Allrecipes about the time it was first posted. I am a fan of cabbage, so I use an entire head. I also use spicy V8 and add garlic. It is a versatile soup. You can eat it plain, and it is delicious. To make it creamy, add sour cream. I have also had it with rice, both brown and white, barley and orzo. Though I think plain with some tabasco is the way to go.

This recipe doesn't have much nutritional value so my girlfriend and I added turkey burger, pinto beans, black beans and mushrooms. We also added a dash of cumin, cilantro, garlic powder and Mrs. Dash seasoning. It was an amazing soup! The next time we make it, we're gonna try it with shredded chicken instead of turkey burger. Yummy!

Thought this would be better, from all the reviews. Not bad, but not a crowd pleaser. Added cooked brown lentils to thicken, which added a good flavor. Left out the celery, as do not care for cooked celery.

Tried this recipe today and it was fantastic! I added a few things to zip it up a little. I used spicy hot V-8 juice and I added some hot sauce and garlic powder. it definately has a little kick but will warm you up on those cold days. Thanks for sharing.

Very, very good. My husband and I ate this for 3 days and lost 6 pounds. Use all zero point veggies and eat as much as you want. Very nice flavor. Thank you for the submission.

This recipe is great! I did add a few things to it though. I didn't have vegetable broth so I used 1 can of beef broth instead. I also added 2 large diced potatoes, 1 can of green beans (partially drained) and about 1 cup of each, corn and peas. I also added some Basil, Ground ALlspice and a touch of Cumin. DELISH!

This recipe was delicious! I added one package of dry onion soup mix, one bell pepper, and a little bit of garlic. Also, I skipped microwaving the vegetables and just threw it all in the pot at once. My friends and I loved it, and I will definitely be making this again.

Fantastic. Do want to try adding some kind of protein, maybe kielbasa or cooked ground turkey. Truly believe if you can make it the day before and be patient enough to wait overnight the flavors will reward you! Added stewed tomatos instead of just diced canned as well as the garlic, black pepper and tabasco suggested by other reviewers. We had soup and grilled cheese sandwiches and it was very very satisfying. Thanks for the recipe.

Excellent! I always add a few cloves of garlic. I also skip the water since I prefer thicker soup and add additional broth as needed. Like some other reviewers, I don't bother with microwaving the veggies. My husband isn't a fan of cabbage so he doesn't really like this, but it's one of my favourites.

I made several modifications but am sure the recipe is still great as is. The vegetables were instead cooked in a bit of olive oil and butter, adding the cabbage in the last minute or two before the liquids. Also, I used "Better Than Bullion" beef base instead of vegetable broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, and some leftover grated zucchini from the Zucchini Bread IV recipe. Excellent!

This is good. I put mine in my crockpot and let it simmer for about six hours. I also added a pound of ground turkey to make it a meal. Next time, I will use more turkey. Everyone, even my 12 year-old, liked it.

This is a great soup! We all loved it. I diced the veggies and added to the pot without microwaving. I served it with some homemade butterhorn rolls. I can see how this recipe can be used as a base for so many variations! Thanks for sharing it!

Average soup. It was more work than the flavor could deliver. Microwaving the veggies and cooking for 3 1/2 hours did not get the veggies as soft as I'd like in a soup. Substituted tabasco for ketchup, as I never keep any ('cause no one uses it), and that made it a bit spicy, but good. Reheating the next day improved the flavor some, but veggies were still hard...
