I’ve been making this delicious, low calorie Italian vegetable beef soup for years and my family loves it.


With only 127 calories and 3 grams of fat per cup, a serving won’t force you into a larger pair of leggings.

WHAT’S IN IT


½-pound lean ground beef


1/4 cup chopped onion


2 cups chopped cabbage


2 medium carrots, sliced


1 cup fresh brussels sprouts, quartered


1 cup chopped fresh kale


1 celery rib, chopped


1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley


1/2 tsp pepper


1/2 tsp. basil


1/4 tsp. salt


3 cups beef stock


1 can Italian diced tomatoes

HOW TO MAKE IT


Brown meat and onion, then transfer to a 4-quart slow cooker.


Stir in remaining ingredients and cook on low for 5-6 hours, until carrots are tender.

This soup freezes well for up to three months.


Enjoy!
