How to Make Weight-Loss Cabbage Soup
1. Prep Your Vegetables for Cooking
Before you begin cooking, it’s important to prep the vegetables and have them all chopped and ready to go. We have easy guides for prepping onions,bell peppers,garlic,cabbageandtomatoesto help you improve your knife skills in the kitchen.
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.
