How to Make Weight-Loss Cabbage Soup

2. Heat Your Oil for Sweating the Vegetables

To properly sweat (release some of their moisture) and soften your vegetables, you’ll need to heat the oil first. This only takes a minute or two, so stay close or you’ll wind up with a smoking pot. Add the vegetables and stir often because your goal is only to soften, not brown, the vegetables.
