How to Make Cabbage Fat Burning Soup (The Jovanie Way)

We’re keeping it real, fresh, and fuss-free. This soup is loaded with veggies, good vibes, and flavor. Plus, it makes a big batch — perfect for meal prepping or sharing with someone you love.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what I grab when I’m making a big pot of cabbage fat burning soup:

• 1 small head of green cabbage, chopped
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 carrots, sliced into rounds
• 3 stalks celery, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  You already know I never hold back on the garlic!
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  Don’t drain it — that juice adds flavor!
• 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• Olive oil, for sautéing

Optional: Add a squeeze of lemon at the end for brightness! Or stir in a handful of chopped parsley to finish.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s get into the rhythm of cooking. This soup comes together easily, and your kitchen will smell amazing while it simmers.

1. Sauté the Aromatics

Start by heating a little olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5–6 minutes until everything softens and starts to smell irresistible.

Add in the garlic and stir for another 30 seconds. Don’t let it burn — just enough to wake it up.

2. Add the Veggies

Now toss in your cabbage, carrots, diced tomatoes (juice and all), and broth. Stir everything together and take a moment to appreciate how colorful it looks — I always do.

3. Season & Simmer

Add your herbs and spices — oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring everything to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes. The cabbage will get tender, and all those flavors will mingle together beautifully.

This is when I sneak a taste test — and maybe a second one. Just sayin’.

4. Taste & Adjust

Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings. Sometimes I add more black pepper for a little extra kick. You do you!

Helpful Tips from My Kitchen

• Want it spicier? Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño when sautéing the onions.
• Meal prep magic — this soup keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days and freezes beautifully.
• Serve it with something cozy like my Garlic Butter Chicken Drumsticks or lighten things up with Oven Roasted Broccoli and Carrots.
• If you’re feeling fancy, top your bowl with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or a few slices of ripe avocado — it adds a creamy touch that feels indulgent but totally fits the vibe.

Who I Love Serving This To

Honestly? Everyone.

When my sisters come over for lunch, this is the soup I always have waiting. When a friend calls and says, “I need a reset,” I drop off a jar. When I’m feeling a little off-balance myself, this is the recipe I go back to. It’s healing. It’s hearty. And it’s full of flavor even though it’s totally guilt-free.

And it goes so beautifully with a cozy main dish, like my Crab Rangoon Bombs or even a warm plate of Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs when you need balance, not perfection.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re my kind of person.

FAQs About Cabbage Fat Burning Soup

❓Can I add protein to this soup?

Absolutely! While it’s already loaded with veggies, you can stir in shredded rotisserie chicken or chickpeas to make it heartier. Just keep it lean and clean.

❓Does it actually help with weight loss?

This soup is naturally low in calories, high in fiber, and full of water-rich veggies — so it’s great for digestion, hydration, and feeling full. It’s not a “magic” fix, but it can support healthy habits when paired with balanced meals (like my oven roasted broccoli and carrots).

❓Can I freeze this soup?

Yes! Let it cool completely, then portion it into freezer-safe containers. It’ll keep for up to 3 months. Just reheat on the stove for that fresh-from-the-pot flavor.
