Cabbage Concoction Soup

I made some fabulous soup for dinner!  I was craving butternut squash, so I used what I had in my fridge and I must say it is quite yummy in my tummy and really low in points too!  



Cabbage Concoction Soup
4 Cups of Chicken or Veggie Broth
4 Cups of H20
1 small head of cabbage
5 sprigs of kale
3-4 cups of butternut squash cubed
5 cello carrots
4 celery stalks
2 cups of whole wheat quinoa

Pre-steam butternut squash so that it is still slightly firm and also pre-cook the quinoa.

Add broth and water to soup pot, then add chopped carrots and celery, chopped head of cabbage, de-stem kale and add to the mixture.  At the end add the butternut squash and qunioa.  I added non-salt herbal seasonings and basil to my soup.

Another option is to pour the soup over the quinoa in your bowl so you can better control your calories and portions.

Enjoy! Hugs & Aloha!
