Weight Loss Vegetable Soup Recipe

Vegetable soup is delicious, healthy and filling!  It’s easy to make and perfect for lunch or afternoon snack. It’s bright, colorful and loaded with all kinds of vegetables (and you can easily sub in whatever veggies you like or have on hand).

When we are trying to cut back (usually in January after the holidays) we enjoy a small bowl of this vegetable soup before each meal.  (And if you follow Weight Watchers, this is a 0 point soup…  a freebie and it’s 21 day fix approved) or I use it as a snack to tide me over until dinner.

What to Put in Vegetable Soup

Broth I prefer beef broth in this soup for flavor, you can use homemade stock or broth or vegetable broth if you prefer. Canned tomatoes (with juice) add great flavor to this recipe too.

Vegetables I love the addition of all kinds of veggies and anything goes in this recipe.

Cabbage in this soup adds bulk and fills your belly. If you’re not a fan of cabbage, you can most certainly substitute kale or spinach. Keep in mind that kale will add more bulk and spinach will shrink down quite a bit.

How to Make Vegetable Soup

1. Prep Wash and chop all of your veggies. Sort your veggies by cook time, things that take longer go in first (like cabbage and carrots) while things that are quicker can go later (like broccoli and zucchini).

2. Flavor I add a touch of water (or oil if you like) and sautee onion and garlic first for flavor. Add spices or herbs to your liking.

3. Simmer Bring broth to a simmer adding in veggies and allow to cook until tender.

How to Add More Flavor to Vegetable Soup

We love this vegetable soup and it’s very flavorful!  We season with our favorite herbs or add Italian Seasoning but you can add whatever you’d like! Here are a few additions to change the flavor:

• Replace canned tomatoes with spicy canned tomatoes
• Add a few dashes of hot sauce
• Fresh herbs such as basil or cilantro
• Parmesan cheese (or a cheese rind while cooking)
• A very small amount of balsamic vinegar
• Tomato paste or bouillon
• A splash of wine

How to Freeze Vegetable Soup

This vegetable soup recipe is great because it can be made on the weekend to enjoy throughout the week and it freezes well. I spoon it into single servings and portion it into freezer bags.

They’re easy to take out for a quick meal or snack and perfect to heat up for a quick meal on the go. If you’re looking for something quick and healthy you’ll love this easy veggie soup recipe!
