Fat Burning Cabbage Tortilla Soup

I am sure most of you have heard about the miracle cabbage soup diet.

Well, I don't look at cabbage soup as diet food.

I look at it as a wonderful veggie soup that fills me up and just happens to help me shed a few pounds in the process.

I wanted to take my love of not only cabbage soup, but my love of tortilla soup and add the two recipes and turn them into one wonderful, filling, fat blasting soup!

All you do is throw everything into a large soup pot, bring to boil, then simmer until all the veggies are tender.

I eat this soup for lunch and dinner and sometimes with a side salad.

Yes, veggie overload.

If you prefer you can puree the soup or just leave it chunky!

Don't forget to top with your favorite baked tortilla chips.

Enjoy!

3 carrots, diced
1 red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced

baked tortilla chips to garnish

Directions:

If desired puree vegetable mixture for smoother soup.

Update: I forgot to note that often when I make this, I will add all the vegetables except the cabbage and cook until tender then puree the veggie mixture. Add back to the pot then add cabbage and cook until tender. It's up to your personal preference. And don't be afraid to add more stock to thin soup to your desired taste.
