02. Cabbage soup - diet basis

The cabbage soup is a basic meal present in all days of the diet. We have to remember about a simple relation - the more cabbage we eat, the more extra weight we can lose. There are only 20 calories in 100 grams of cabbage. The cabbage soup is very quick and easy to prepare. A recipe given below allows for preparing a portion that should be enough for about a week. Prepared soup should be kept in a fridge and heated up only in the amount needed for a meal.

Cabbage soup recipe:

• one head of white or savoy cabbage,
• six large finely chopped onions,
• six tomatoes (fresh or canned),
• two green (or yellow and red) peppers,
