Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. A snap to put together. All the ingredients spend a lot of loving time together in the pot to make an amazingly simple and flavorful soup. This will make a great weeknight meal. You might even have leftovers for lunch the next day! Thanks to one of Plan Z’s own, Carolyn, for “testing” this recipe out in her kitchen.
Serving Size: 1-1/2 cups. This will include your veggie portion.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 of 1 large head of cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups water
- 2 pounds ground beef, browned and drained
- a 15-oz can of Hunts (100% natural) tomato sauce
- a 15-oz can of Hunts tomatoes (100% natural), with peppers, celery and onions
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp Truvia
Instructions:
Add the cabbage, celery, onion, beef broth, chicken broth, and water into a stock pot and cook until the veggies are tender.
Then add the ground beef, Hunt’s tomato sauce, Hunt’s tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring everything to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
At the very end add 2 tsp of Truvia and simmer for 10 more minutes to let the flavors combine.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.
Cranberry Sauce “Zolafied”
Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
How to Cheat on Your Diet at Thanksgiving
Remember, the average American gains at least 7 pounds over the holidays. You don’t have to follow the crowd.
Turkey Tips
Many people think the Thanksgiving turkey dinner is the most intimidating meal to make. It's not. Here's some rules to follow.
This recipe caught my eye when it appeared recently on the landing page. While I’m not in reduction right now, it intrigued me. It’s really good. Yet another Zola recipe that I would have overlooked before converting to PlanZ proves how good real food can taste. I’ll be making this again.
update. This soup is magic! Even on Reboot, it takes the pounds off. I’ll definitely be coming back to this recipe again, and again. Super easy. Super tasty, and the cabbage adds a pseudo-pasta texture to the soup. A Must Eat.
My husband and I love this soup. I just simmer the cabbage, onion and Celery together to soften them in about half the liquid while I’m browning the beef, then put it all in the crockpot to simmer together all day. Mmmm! Delicious! And best of all it fills us up and keeps us satisfied.
Delicious and filling.
This recipe is fantastic. I use a little Old Bay seasoning on the meat and it adds a good flavor, not to mention the kitchen smells great while the meat is browning. I back off to 2 cups total of water, which makes it a tad thicker and more “stew-ish.” I’ve cooked this two ways:
1) browned the meat in a skillet, while the veggies and broth get started in my crock pot. Once the meat is ready I add the remainder of the ingredients to the crock pot. Close it up, set it on high, reduce to low after 1 hour, let it slowly stew in its own for 4-6 hours.
2) stovetop, as mentioned above.
I prefer the crockpot style simply because all the flavors seem to meld together better, and have a softer texture. However, if you like a little more crisp to your veggies the stovetop method provides that…and can be completed in a lot less time.
This recipe keeps well and is easy to take for lunch all week!
This soup is delicious made it just as the recipe says except without the sweetener and its great…love it!!! Thanks Zola 🙂
I needed some extra unlimited veggies today, so i altered this recipe to only include the cabbage and celery. I seasoned with Onion powder, salt, and Pepper. I may add in FuriYaki seasoning to give it some Asian flare or a couple drops of coconut aminos, but oooo, yummy!
Glad y’all are enjoying this recipe.
