This cabbage soup recipe has been on this blog since March of 2016 and I recently updated the post with more information on the Cabbage Soup Diet and also included instructions on how to make this in your Instant Pot or Slow Cooker.

Weight Watcher's Zero Point Cabbage Soup - You can eat as much of this 0-point Weight Watchers cabbage soup as you like because it's only 22 calories per serving! More like the whole pot!

The Cabbage Soup Diet

Cabbage soup is the magical soup that's supposed to help with weight loss and there is even a diet named after it called the Cabbage Soup Diet. It is a very strict diet where you can lose up to 10 pounds. For an entire week, you eat large amounts of this soup but during this time (7 days) you can also eat other foods like fruits and vegetables, beef, chicken, and brown rice according to Mayo Clinic's website.

I give props to anyone that can follow a strict diet like that. I could never just eat cabbage soup for that long of a time period. In fact, I'd get pretty bored with it. That is the brilliant part about myWW. It's zero points and can be served for lunch or dinner. Plus, you're getting in vegetables for the day.

Does Cabbage Soup Help with Weight Loss?

To lose body fat you need to be in a calorie deficit whether or not you track calories or points. This cabbage soup is very low in calories and is a wonderful addition to your diet.

Your body needs other nutrients like proteins, fat, and whole grains to help you feel full and keep you satisfied all day. If all you ate was cabbage soup all day long, you'd be starving for the whole entire time, so please eat this soup with other healthy foods!

How to make Cabbage Soup

  1. Spray pot with nonstick cooking spray. Saute onions carrots and garlic for 5 minutes.
  2. Add broth, Tomato paste, cabbage, green beans, basil, oregano, and Salt & Pepper to taste.
  3. Simmer for about 5-10 minutes until all vegetables are tender then add the zucchini and simmer for another 5 or so minutes.
  4. I have tried different variations. Leaving out green beans. Adding chopped green onions in addition to the yellow onion.
  5. All very good. You can customize it to your liking.

Can Cabbage Soup be Made in an Instant Pot?

Combine cabbage, onions, carrots, green beans, and zucchini to an Instant Pot with the garlic, tomato paste, and beef broth. Add the seasonings.

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Release the pressure using a natural release method.

Slow Cooker Method:

Add all the ingredients to your slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.

    This is SO GOOD!!!! The only thing I changed was to add cayenne pepper because it is thermogenic. Thank you for the Instant Pot instructions.

    I love this soup and have made it multiple times. I usually add a ton of celery, ginger, a can of tomatoes instead of paste, a bay leaf and sometimes sirracha. yum!

    I followed the recipe and chose the crockpot, cooked on low 5 hours, vegetables were still too raw.
    Cooked on high for another hour, still to raw, cooked on high another hour and still crunchy (not like you would expect soup vegetables to be.
    I would not advise using crockpot with this recipe.
    Recipe tastes good but cooking method was not. I put it in a pot tomorrow and finish cooking.

    I haven't made this soup recipe in a long time! You can do either 1 cup or 1/2 servings and all vegetables should still be zero points. 🙂

    I really like this recipe! However, I only got 3 x 1 cup servings. Based on 3 servings it works out to about 65 calories per serving. (Note: crediting Jenna, I added this recipe to the Fat Secret as "low calorie cabbage soup")

    Hi, my name is Paula. I'm so glad to come across this recipe again; I love it! It tastes phenominal and is totally filling. I would just like to add that in regards to eating this soup for helping with weight loss, you really do need to stick to using the recommended vegetables. If you use other veggies that are high in carbs....i.e. potatoes, corn, peas.... you are not going to get the desired results as far as weight loss goes. Just wanted to pass this on. Have a great New Year, everyone!
