Cabbage and Sausage Soup

Cabbage and Sausage Soup

Once again this is a favorite!  Great if you are trying to take off a few pounds or more.  This has protein (12g), veggies, and fiber (4.2g).  You can freeze this also.

Ingredients
1 Lb            Turkey Sausage or Kielbasa
4 Cups        Chopped Cabbage (I buy the slaw already chopped)
1.5 Cups     Sliced Zucchini
.5 Cup         Chopped Green Pepper
.5 Cup         Chopped Yellow Pepper
1 Medium   Chopped onion
2 Cups         Tomato juice (I usually use V8 low sodium)
1 Can           Stewed Tomatoes
1 Can           Campbell's Tomato Soup
2 TBS          Chili Powder (Omit if you don't like spice)
.5 TBS         Black Pepper
1 Stalk         Chopped Celery
.5-1 Cup      Mushrooms (can or fresh)
1 Cup           Chicken broth (I also use low sodium)

Directions
Cook onions, peppers and celery in broth until tender.  Place all ingredients in a crock pot on low for 3-4 hours.  If soup looks dry add more tomato juice or chicken broth.  (I also cook on high for 5-8 hours and not cook the onions, peppers, and celery first)

This is about 187 calories per cup and should serve 8.
