Let us know how it tastes, and how satisfying it is.

very good and satisfying

It's very filling but be careful, I know a few people who ate this soup to loose weight and they ended up having diarrhea. Too much cabbage can do that. Good luck!

I didn't say I didn't like cabbage soup, I said it's a stupid diet to follow.

It's veggie soup. Even Weight Watchers had a recipe in their quick start guide for something that. Veggies and fiber, it's not a mystery. Any time you can eat that instead of empty calories it's a good thing. The "cabbage soup" seems to get fixated on a lot by people who don't get "eat more vegetable", I don't know why. But you can't eat soup forever so sooner or later you figure it out of start eating junk again.

I think I'll make some veggie soup (with cabbage) this week. I like soup. But I'll eat other things too.

The soup is great as long as it is PART of a healthy diet and not THE diet.
