Ingredients
1 large head cabbage - shredded or chopped
1 bunch green onions - chopped
16-28 ounces canned tomatoes - chopped
2 green peppers - chopped
1 bunch celery - chopped
1-2 packages Lipton onion soup mix (dry)
fresh herbs - chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
Making The Soup
Put all vegetables in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, stir in the soup mix, and boil gently for 10 minutes. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until all the vegetables are soft. Stir in the soup mix, salt, black pepper and chopped herbs (saving some for garnish) to taste.
Eat as much of the soup as you like, as often as you like. The more you eat the more you lose. You must, however, eat at least one bowl of soup each and every day. Here's what else you can eat, and when:
Day 1
All fruits (except bananas). And the Cabbage Soup.
Day 2
All vegetables - except corn and beans (no starchy vegetables—green beans are fine), raw or cooked. You may also have 1 medium baked potato with a LITTLE butter for dinner. And the Cabbage Soup.
Day 3
Combine days 1 and 2 (all the fruits and vegetables you want), but no potato. And the Cabbage Soup.
Day 4
Bananas and skim milk - eat as many as 6 bananas and drink as many as 6 glasses of skim milk. You may also have up to 1 cup of bran if needed. Don't forget at least one bowl of cabbage soup.
Day 5
Beef (ground or steak) - as much as 20 ounces, total. You can also eat up to 6 tomatoes. And you must drink 8 glasses of water. Don't forget at least one bowl of cabbage soup.
Day 6
All the Beef and GREEN vegetables you want (no starchy vegetables). Must drink 8 glasses of water and eat at least one bowl of cabbage soup.
Day 7
1 cup of cooked brown rice, non-starchy vegetables, and up to 8 ounces unsweetened fruit juice. And cabbage soup of course.
