Loaded Vegetable Soup

This veggie-packed soup is seriously satisfying, cozy, and makes you feel great—never sluggish or bloated. It also happens to be naturally low-carb...but I bet your family will be too busy slurping it up to even notice.

If you want to mix things up, you can add some shredded chicken to this vegetable soup recipe. It’s a delicious way to get some extra protein. Or if you have picky eaters at home, throw in some cheesy crackers or a dab of hot sauce. If you like leftovers, you may want to cook a big batch because the flavors get even better a day or two after you make it.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a big stockpot, warm up a generous pour of olive oil over medium heat.

2. Add celery, onions, carrots, and some salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until softened, then add garlic and toss a few more times until onions start to turn golden.

3. Add tomatoes and chopped cabbage, along with the herbs and spices of your choice. Cover with stock. You may also need to top it off with some water.
