I keep a freezer bag in the freezer and add any little bits of vegetables that are leftover from dinners to the bag. When the bag is full, I add canned tomatoes, beef bouillon, and sometimes beef (stew meat or cooked ground beef). Voila! I have soup.

This is just about the same as the old ‘cabbage soup diet’ soup of many years ago. I have made something similar for years and love it. I never thought of adding ranch dressing. I’ll have to do that next time. Sounds good.

That is exactly right, whatever works!! But for people who don’t like veggies that is a fabulous idea!!!

I am really bad about skipping veggies, so what I do with a soup like this is cook it till just-tender, and then put it through the blender in batches. That way, I fool myself into eating what’s good for me because I don’t actually SEE the veggies. Hey, whatever works, right?

Added some diced potatoes and used the shredded cabbage already at the store! Used diced tomatoes because I had them on hand. A little bit of maggi, italian seasoning, black pepper, garlic salt, and Tony Cachere’s for a little heat!

We have made big pots and huge pots full of this “gold” in the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s, and 90′s for dieting and nutrition. We called it “The Dolly Partin Vegetable Soup Diet”!! I believe Dolly ate this to cut back on fats and calories, also. Generations of us Southerners have eaten this for survival and for frugal use of veggies from our gardens and freezers. Yummy stuff!! Enjoy! Thanks Christy for bringing it back in a BIG WAY!
