Cabbage Fat-burning Soup: A Nourishing and Hearty Low-Calorie Meal

Start by chopping the cabbage, onion, carrots, bell peppers, and celery into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and set all the vegetables aside.
Cook the Base:

In a large pot, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
Simmer the Soup:

Add the carrots, bell peppers, celery, and chopped cabbage to the pot. Stir to combine, then pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
If desired, add the smoked paprika, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes for extra flavor and a little heat.
Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Adjust Seasoning:

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs if needed.
Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy a warm, satisfying, and fat-burning meal!
