Soup Question :D

[ChunckyDumplin]

Okay everyone, I cant figure this out on my own so I need some help. I am VERY FOND of cabbage soup... LOVE IT.. and I have been craving it for a while now. I want to know if this is acceptable.. In my recipe I of course use cabbage, green beans, celary, and a little ounion and tomatoes. The broth is V-8 juice and chicken broth which makes it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. Can I have this?

[MontanaRebel]

How much you going to make? Alot of vegetables in that receipe so need to break it down into serving sizes.....

Can't answer on the V8 or chicken broth so someone else can chime in on that! Ok ttdriver where are you? Johnny :guns

What stage of Atkins are you on? I think V8 is made from carrots.

[Satin_Teardrops]

V8 does have carrots in it so if you are still on induction it is a no-no.

[sidrah]

Chicken broth is a yes

In place of V8, can you use crushed tomatoes seasoned with something to add some extra flavor??

I can't see why you should completely avoid it if you can make an easy substitution. Maybe tomato and tabasco or something. I don't think I have ever made cabbage soup with V8 and I am amost 100% certain I have never drank it, so I am not sure of the exact flavor you are getting out of it.

V-8 has 7g Carbs -1g dietary fiber per 5.5 oz. The number 1 ingredient is tomato juice, followed by juice of carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress, & spinach. (8 veggies) So maybe you could add celery, parsley, lettuce, watercress & spinach to your crushed tomatos and get most of the flavor. Carrots and beets are way up the carb ladder.
