🧾 Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the green recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.

📖Variations

• Use regular or spicy V-8 juice—whichever you prefer!
• If you’re not a fan of V-8, you can use vegetable broth, chicken broth, homemade chicken stock, or beef broth. (Use a low-sodium broth to keep this zero-point soup healthy!)
• Feel free to add extra veggies, like bell peppers, butternut squash, stalks of celery, cauliflower rice, or green onions.
• Though 0-point Weight Watcher's soup calls for green cabbage, red cabbage works well, too! It'll add a peppery taste—but no extra points.
• If you like spicy foods, add a dash of red pepper flakes and some cayenne to your slow cooker for an extra kick.
• A tablespoon of tomato paste will give your soup more depth of flavor.
• You can swap the oregano and basil in a pinch with Italian seasoning.

🥫 How to store leftovers

With soup so tasty, you might want to eat it all—and you can, 'cause it's healthy! Right?

If you have leftovers, refrigerate the cabbage soup in an airtight container for up to four days. I recommend using glass, as the V-8 sauce can stain plastic.

Reheat servings in the microwave or over medium heat in a saucepan until warm.

If you have a lot of 0-point Weight Watcher's cabbage soup left over, freeze individual portions in an airtight container or Ziploc freezer bags for up to three months.

Defrost frozen soup in the fridge or place it directly in a pot on the stovetop to warm up.

💭 Things to know

Expert Tip: Adjust the cooking time depending on how crunchy or soft you like your veggies. But beware—cook ‘em too long and they’ll get mushy!

• Feel free to use a bag of frozen vegetables (carrots, green beans, and peas) to make prep even simpler.
• Fresh herbs are a great addition to this soup. Add a bay leaf, fresh rosemary, fresh sage, or fresh thyme.
• I like to make a double batch and freeze some for another quick dinner.
• Store leftover soup in individual portion sizes for a quick ‘n easy lunch the next day.
