Spicy Weight-Loss Cabbage Soup

Really tasty low calorie soup. I'll add a squeeze of lime and pinch of cilantro as I go along eating the soup over the next few days so it continues to have a fresh flavor. Also, I used a combo of poblano and anaheim chilies.

I made it exactly as stated and while my husband and I thought it was "OK" it's not a recipe that I would say has a "WOW" factor and that I would want to make again. Definitely healthy—just didn't care for it.

I cooked bacon and used some of that oil for depth of flavor. This really does need some extras, but it's a great staple to have in the fridge.

I never thought I would give something called Me I am Cabbage Soup 5 stars, but it is absolutely delicious not to mention healthy! I made it as is using 1 can of black beans and 1 can of pinto beans. Served with avocado on top. My carnivore husband loved it too. Adding to my favorite recipe folder!

I doubled the cumin and coriander and added a tad more chipotle in adobe bc we love spice. I used homemade chicken broth (I have to control sodium for the hubby) and substituted my broth for the water in the recipe. Loved this. Will make again. My kids (athletes) think I should put chicken in it. I might do that. :)

I increased the spices significantly and reduced the water a little bit for a richer, more flavorful soup. It is delicious and has quickly become a staple in my household.

Good soup

Made it as is, plus heavy on the spices (not the salt!) and also added a whole can of peeled tomatoes. WOW!! What a great meal! Garnishes take it to a new level of tastiness...

I halved this recipe (because there are two of us). I didn't use poblano/green bell pepper, chipotle chiles, or the cilantro. I also didn't add the extra water. What I used in place of the chiles was sriracha sauce. This one of the best soup recipes ever. No kidding. It was phenomenally delicious.

Very good and healthy soup. I think next time I will half the ingredients. This is a lot of soup for 2 people. Also, on what planet is this done in 20 minutes? It takes about an hour and a half with all of the chopping. I love how healthy it is. I added 2-3 crumpled tortilla chips as garnish with the avocados.

Easy and tasty, what more could you ask for!

delicious and easy to make, didn't have peppers used sriracha instead

Love everything about this soup. Very satisfying, warm and nourishing.

Replace celery with a drained can of corn, replace onions with diced red skinned potatoes, can replace poblanos with fresh green beans, use vegetable broth and it's vegan, adjust heat level by how much chipotle w adobo is used. Replace half with tomato paste for less kick. Save the cilantro and lime as toppings instead of adding it into the soup, for easier reheating of leftovers. Love this soup!!!!

MINOUCHKA -- Once again another great soup recipe from Eating Well. Another one for the file!

Excellent soup , I used Caramelizing onions(12 hr slow cooker crock pot) I find they make for a really nice base for soup and stew. Also added a small tad of chicken base. Love this soup, thanks eating well!

I created the soup with all the ingredients describe, but made it on the slow cooker instead of the stove. I had to add some potatoes just to give it a little more consistency. I also added 2 chicken bullions instead of adding salt. Overall I loved the hot kick the chipotle adobo sauce provided.

The soup recipe is delicious as is. But any good cook is going to adjust spices or other ingredients to his or her personal or family preferences. I always add heat to many recipes.

The success of this soup hinges on the quality of the broth you use. I picked up a broth that was okay, but not my usual brand. I ended up adding a 1/2 cup of finely diced light Polska Kielbasa....I know. Defeats the purpose, but it was the only last minute option I could think of to rescue the flat taste. I was worried it would confuse the flavor, but it worked surprisingly well. I wouldn't have guessed it was there by just tasting the soup. I added only avocado as garnish, but it made such a difference. Don't skip the garnishes, I imagine all would add dimension to the flavor. Just look at the picture! Multiple garnishes. I will make this again, but would probably look to cut down the quantity since I have a family of 3.

Delicious! We made a few changes. We added corn, one can of black beans and one can of kidney beans. We didn't add any water and used half the can of chili's in Adobe. We topped it with cilantro, cotijia cheese and Avocado. Can't wait for the leftovers!

Excellent, doubled the chipotle peppers. Still added a little more to my bowl. Definitely not too spicy.

This soup is delish. The acidity of the lime juice and the creaminess of the avocado truly sets this dish off. I only used one can of pinto's because that's all I had and I didn't add the crumbled queso fresco and nonfat plain greek yogurt but next time I will. I can imagine that would take it to another level.

This was delicious! I omitted the cumin because I realized I didn't' have any. It still came out great. Topped with avocado and squeezed lime juice in each bowl rather than in the whole pot. I think the lime juice is what really makes it. Very easy to make vegan by using vegetable broth and no cheese/yogurt topping.

Easy with great flavor. Start with 1/8 to 1/4 the chipotle and add more later, if you want. It's easily too much for cabbage soup. Otherwise you get very hot chili, with a ton of cabbage. PI liked the avacado garnish.

Omitted the garlic, cumin & coriander. Added red pepper flakes. Excellent.

Amazing. We only did half the amount of Chipotle sauce. But it is amazing.
