Weight Loss Vegetable Soup Recipe

This vegetable soup recipe is great because it can

be made on the weekend to enjoy throughout the week and it freezes well. I spoon it into single servings and portion it into freezer bags.

• 1 small onion , diced
• 2 cloves garlic , minced
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 4 cups chopped cabbage (approx. 1/4 head of cabbage)

• 6 cups low sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 bay leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon each thyme & basil
• pepper to taste
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups sliced zucchini

3. Stir in bell peppers, undrained tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, bay leaves and seasonings. Simmer 6-7 minutes.
