This hearty soup is a complete winner in my books because it is a whooping zero (0) Weight Watchers points! The best part about this recipe is that you can customize the soup with your favourite ingredients. Just make sure you count the points correctly if you are adding something other than veggies. I usually add 3-4 ounces of chicken to the soup for a total of 3-4 Weight Watchers points per serving. You can also pair the soup with a nice sandwich on the side.
As I write this post, I am eating it with a delicious tuna sandwich–a perfect pairing for such a yummy healthy soup. It takes me 20 minutes from start to finish to make this soup. Completely worth the effort.

My Kitchen Tools
You will need a ladel and a big enough pot to hold 8 servings. Every household kitchen should have a large pot for preparing soups and stews.
The cabbage soup was DELICIOUS!!!
Thank you for trying our recipe.
Thank you I have been wanting this for awile now.
This is my favorite dish. You can also add some protein from tofu to chicken to shrimp, The possibilities are endless with this soup.
Thanks for the comments everyone,
CrazyGirlEats 🙂
I am cooking it now smell yummy.
I made it tonight… added some fresh mushrooms. When I dished up a serving, I seasoned with it Sriracha hot sauce and added 2 Tablespoons of Greek Yogurt. This is so delicious! I think I’ll season it a little differently each time I eat a bowl of it. There are so many possibilities!
@Roberta We usually try different seasonings before serving. It becomes a different dish each time we make and serve it.

Hi Amanda!
This looks delicious and I think I’ll definitely be making it soon! Question – either I totally missed it (possible, ha ha) or it’s not available, but what is the serving size?? I saw you mentioned 21 calories, but for what serving size?
Thanks!
Hello Katy,
Thanks for the comment. This is my favorite soup and you can so much with it. The serving size it 1 cup.
Enjoy,
Amanda 🙂
Thanks, Amanda!
I just made this and I am completely in LOVE already. It is SO easy to customize! I added some plain, nonfat greek yogurt with some sriracha as someone suggested and some fresh cilantro on top. mmmm! Going back for seconds! 🙂
You may already know this by now about entering this in your WW Tracker–but here is the easy way. Build a recipe–enter this as a recipe and add it to your favorites there. Each time you eat this you can find it in your favorites. Good eating!!
Is it also 0 points plus???
Hello Michelle,
Yes this soup is still 0 Points under the new points plus plan. So eat up and enjoy.
Amanda 🙂
I have made this twice in 2 weeks…I just love it. I didn’t use any oil…just threw everything in a pot and simmered it. Zuchini is expensive right now so I left that out but added some cauliflower and broccoli this last time. Very yummy!!!
@Paula Thanks for sharing your substitutions. This dish is so flexible. Thanks for sharing.
My husband and I made this today and he said that it is the best soup he has ever had. Extremely good.

This looks great. I will be making this real soon. Thank you.
Is this recipe freezeable? Thanks!
Yes, I have had other people freeze the recipe. I personally have not. I just keep it and eat it for the week.
Thank You,
Amanda
This is delicious but when I entered the recipe in, I came up with 1 point per serving, not zero.
In the process of making this right now 🙂 It smells amazing 🙂
I see that a serving is 1 cup. How many servings in total does this recipe make? Thanks!
Julie
Hello Julie,
I am not sure of the exact amount as it changes each time I make it. I would say approximately 5-6 cups.
Thank you,
Amanda
I just made this and added frozen cheese tortellini at the end. Sooo Good that I had 2 huge bowls.
@Victoria Wow, now that is a novel idea. This recipe is so flexible. Never would have thought of adding some kind of pasta/noodle.
I made this soup and the longer it sits in the fridge the better it is!!! Also added to the broth Tamari Sauce and Brussels sprouts, even my husband liked it!!! Delicious.
@Christine Brussel sprouts is a good idea. I will have to try that next time.

Thiscant be 0 points with the oil.
Hello,
Yes, for one serving this is 0 points. If you eat the entire pot in one sitting then yes the point value would be higher. It’s only 0.5 a tsp for the entire pot.
Thank you,
Amanda
