Always good to have on hand....

The week is moving right along, and here it is Thursday already!  I hope you have had a good week thus far!

With the weeks that are ahead, I find it very helpful to have some good vegetable soup on hand.  It is low-calorie and reheats easily.

I have been reviewing my recipe file, and this one came to my attention.  It is a newspaper clipping from a number of years ago, though I cannot say exactly when - or which newspaper.

CABBAGE SOUP

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 (16-ounce) can kidney beans, undrained
1/2 large head of cabbage, chopped
1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, undrained
28 ounces water (use tomato can for measuring)
2 to 4 bouillon cubes, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley

- Combine all ingredients except parsley in a large stockpot.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for one hour.  Garnish with parsley.  Soup can be frozen.  Makes 3 quarts, serves eight.

Cooking time is done!

I listed the recipe as it is printed; however, I discovered I had only crushed tomatoes, so that is what I used rather than the chopped.  Also, I used vegetable broth rather than water and bouillon cubes. 

You can easily tell that this is a good low-calorie recipe, just the thing to have around during this time of year - or anytime!:-)

There are some new followers!  Thank you for coming along.
