Cabbagge Soup

Chicken Broth 48 ounces  3 sp                                1 tbsp crushed or chopped garlic
5 ribs of celery                                                   1 tsp black   pepper
1 leek or 1 large onion chopped                         1 tsp dried dill weed

1 28 ounces can of crushed tomatoes 1/4 cup of water to rinse the can
 2 tbsp tomato paste
1 med head of cabbage sliced
1 envelope of dry onion soup mix 3sp

Add broth to your pot, add dry onion soup mix, celery, carrots, and leeks or onions and black pepper. Cover and bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour. Add the cabbage and dill and let it cook down for about

30 mins at a low simmer. Sever with some grated parm cheese and enjoy

the only thing to count would be the dry onion soup mix and the chicken broth.  You get about 10-12 servings of this soup. This is considered zero points for a serving of soup. I am a rebel and don't count chicken broth or onion  soup mix, You do what you need to do .
