Living healthy – Minestrone Soup/
Need some help getting the pounds off? Nothing could be better than minestrone soup – non fattening and luscious. It works wonders. Minestrone is probably one of the best because of its fat busting ingredients – cabbage. Yes, you heard right. Cabbage is an excellent food that helps the metabolism. Check out this healthy recipe from my cookbook.
4 cups water
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 carrots, grated
1 bunch spinach, finely chopped
1 can navy beans, drained
½ green onion
½ bell pepper, chopped
¼ head of cabbage, chopped
¼ bag cooked pasta
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbs. chicken style seasoning
1 tbs. onion powder
1 tbs. garlic powder
1 tbs. Italian seasoning
Cilantro and sea salt to taste
Sauté onion, garlic and pepper in a little water. Then add all of the other ingredients – with the exception of the salt. Add this last. Cook 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender, add more water if needed.
