Looking for a veggie packed soup recipe that tastes good? This Healthy Cabbage Soup recipe is simple to prepare, loaded with power foods, and has a little added kick with the addition of Spicy V8 juice! Simmered to perfection on the stove top for a quick and healthy soup recipe!
One more healthy recipe for you for our January goals…wink wink…I try to make this Healthy Cabbage Soup once a year and freeze it in individual containers to take for my lunch. It is packed with veggies.. I actually call it my power veggie soup, but it tastes like my moms cabbage soup. This is vegetarian, gluten free, and loaded with the good stuff. I feel good after eating a bowl (or two).
Why I love this vegetable soup recipe with v8
Don’t let the name deter you from trying it because it is delicious and good for you! My mom always made Cabbage Soup, but if she didn’t I probably would never try it. I promise you- you will like it. My version has a little bit of heat to it too. It is quick to toss together, loaded with power foods, and has a little kick.
Vegetables in this Cabbage Soup Recipe

How to Make this Healthy Cabbage Soup Recipe
I let it simmer for about 2 hours but of course you could make it in the Instant Pot or in the slow cooker. I received a shiny pretty new set of pots and pans for Christmas that I was excited to use, so I cooked it low and slow traditionally on the stove top.
The stock is super easy- I use one big jug of spicy vegetable juice (V8 or similar). Dice your veggies, saute the carrots/onions/celery, and then add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until veggies are tender. Reap the benefits and ENJOY!
