Cabbage and Potato Soup We’ve all heard the claims about cabbage soup being the perfect diet food. But aside from all the talk about its slimming properties (if you eat nothing else, that is), cabbage soup is one of winter’s finest foods. It’s built to warm you, give you lots of good fiber, along with plenty of vitamins A and C, and it’s just plain delicious. And did we mention that a cup of cabbage has only 35 calories? Yes, it’s perfect for those of us with resolutions of losing that pesky 10 pounds once and for all (well, we can dream, can’t we?).

Plus, you can’t beat the price of a head of cabbage. This is called smart cooking for your money. And the result? A cabbage soup that is so hearty it can proudly serve as the main event at your table, with a loaf of crusty bread. Or served as a side with a sandwich for lunch.
