Does anyone have the recipe for cabbage soup?

Reenie: Mom of Marine asked:


Years ago I had a recipe for cabbage soup that dieticians gave to heart patients to lower cholesterol and lose weight. I belive it was a tomato based soup with lots of veggies. Anyone remember this?

    Fastest Way to Lose Weight

    Wonderfully pure, a “vat” of this stuff lasts about a week, depending on how much you eat each day. Eat as much of the soup as you like, as often as you like.
    1 head green cabbage, finely shredded or chopped
    2 large onions, chopped
    16 to 28 ounces canned tomatoes, chopped with juices
    2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
    4 celery stalks with leaves, chopped
    6 carrots, peeled and sliced
    1/2 pound green beans, stem ends snapped, sliced on the diagonal
    Black pepper to taste
    Chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, sage, dill, cilantro, or thyme
    Garnish
    Balsamic vinegar or lemon or lime juice
    Minced fresh herbs
    Chopped green onions

    To Prepare
    Prep all the ingredients as directed in the recipe list.
    To Cook
    Put all the vegetables in a big soup pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and boil gently for 10 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until all the vegetables are soft. Stir in the black pepper and chopped herbs.

    To Serve
    This soup can be served hot or cold. It can be pureed or partially pureed to vary textures. It can be seasoned differently for variety, with balsamic vinegar, lemon or lime juice, different fresh herbs, or chopped green onions.

    Cabbage Soup

    The Diet Doctor’s Wife: This recipe is based on my mother’s sweet and sour cabbage soup. My version is vegetarian and just as yummy. I can eat a whole pot-full in just one sitting. Thankfully, it’s not at all fattening.

    The Diet Doctor: This soup is great for dieting. It’s low in fat and calories, high in fiber, and has a mild diuretic effect. You can enjoy it in large quantities, guilt-free.

    2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
    2 cups onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 cup carrot, diced
    1 cup celery, diced
    Bouquet garni (1 bay leaf, 6 sprigs parsley and 6 chives, tied together with string)
    1 teaspoon ground caraway or 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
    1 bay leaf
    1 pound cabbage, shredded
    1 cup Jerusalem artichoke, cut in chunks (optional)
    1/2 cup parsnip, diced
    1-cup turnip, cut in chunks
    14-ounce can peeled and seeded tomatoes, coarsely chopped
    4 cup Basic Vegetable Stock (recipe below) or water
    2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste

    Heat oil in a stockpot. Add onion, garlic, carrots, celery, bouquet garni, caraway and bay leaf, and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring soup to a boil.
