- 1 large head cabbage, chopped
- 5 carrots, chopped
- 10 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 green bell peppers, diced
- 3 onions, chopped
Canned Ingredients:
- 2 (16 ounces / 454 grams) cans whole peeled tomatoes, with liquid
- 1 (15 ounces / 425 grams) can cut green beans, drained
- 1 (14 ounces / 397 grams) can beef broth
- 2 quarts (1.89 liters) tomato juice
Seasoning:

Instructions
- Chop all vegetables into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the soup.
- Transfer the prepared vegetables into a spacious cooking vessel, creating a colorful and nutrient-dense base for the fat-burning soup.
- Pour liquid ingredients carefully over the vegetables, ensuring complete coverage and allowing the flavors to meld together seamlessly.
- Season the mixture with dry onion soup mix, creating a robust and savory flavor profile that enhances the natural vegetable tastes.
- Set the heat to medium-low and allow the soup to gently simmer for approximately 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Test vegetable tenderness by piercing with a fork; vegetables should be soft but not mushy, maintaining their structural integrity and nutritional value.
- Remove from heat and let the soup cool naturally, allowing flavors to further develop and intensify.
- Transfer cooled soup into sealed containers and refrigerate, which will maintain freshness and allow the soup to be consumed within 3-4 days.
- Reheat individual portions as needed, ensuring thorough warming to maintain food safety and optimal taste.
Notes
- Choose fresh, crisp vegetables for maximum flavor and nutritional boost.
- Adjust seasoning gradually while cooking to prevent over-salting and maintain balanced taste.
- Consider using low-sodium broth for a healthier version that controls salt intake.
- Customize the soup by adding lean protein like chicken or tofu for extra nutritional value and satiety.
