This really is DELISH, and it does work:
(makes 15 servings, and is freezeable)
5 carrots, chopped
2 sweet* white onions, chopped
2 cans (16 oz.) whole peeled tomatoes with liquid
3 tomatillos*, outer husk peeled, and chopped
1 large head of green* cabbage, chopped
5 baby bok choys*, chopped
10 Brussels sprouts*, halved
1 (1 oz.) envelope dry onion soup mix
1 (15 oz.) can cut green beans, drained
2 qts. low sodium* tomato juice
2 sweet red bell peppers, roasted*, peeled, and chopped
10 stalks celery, chopped
1 (14 oz.) can low sodium* beef broth
Sea salt* and freshly ground pepper* to taste
1 bay leaf*
3 sprigs of lemon thyme*
A handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped*
Place all ingredients in crock pot, and enough water to cover all. Cook until veggies are tender. You can store this in the fridge for several days. It gets better with age - as do we all!!

Have FUN today.

The amount of cabbage in this recipe is overpowering. I like cabbage, but this is too much! If I make this again I will likely only use 1/4 the amount of cabbage and add other healthy veggies like squash and zucchini to make up for it.The carbs are low and there is no fat. If you make variations that don't include fat, carbs, and calories than you should still have the "fat burning" effect of this soup.
