{recipe of the week} Cabbage Soup

I know what you're thinking....  Ugh.  Cabbage.  Some people love it, some hate it, some aren't quite sure what to do with it.  I happen to love it for it's mild flavor, versatility and all it's fabulous little nutrients. 

This Cabbage Soup recipe (from Weight Watchers) is ridiculously easy AND tasty!  The best part is that you can add or delete whatever veggies you want.  Add chicken if you like.  Leave out the cabbage if it really, really bothers you.   It's a great soup, though.  Who would have thought something so simple would be so delicious?!

By the way, I highly recommend doubling or quadrupling the recipe.
