Eat those vegetables!!!

Hi Ladies,
I thought to encourage you to eat more vegetables I would give you a fast and simple recipe for making CABBAGE SOUP it is just under 50 calories a bowl and gives you two of your five servings of vegetables per cup. You will need the following. 1 Large 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes (I use Dei Fratelli because there is no puree in them making it lower in calories) You can use whole tomatoes and crush them yourself. 3 cups of beef broth you can use canned or bouillon cubes and water. 16 ounces of water, 3 cups of chopped fresh cabbage, 2 stalks of chopped celery, 2 whole carrots chopped, 1 cup of chopped onion, 1 green pepper chopped, one or two gloves of garlic diced, 3 tablespoons of sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Put all together in a large pot and simmer until vegetables are cooked. If it seems to thick you can add more water.
This is a very hearty and satisfying soup. ENJOY!!!
