**Longer if you prefer your veggies to be soft** Refrigerate until cool.


Serve chilled with sour cream.
Wonderfully pure, a ';vat'; of this stuff lasts about a week, depending on how much you eat each day. Eat as much of the soup as you like, as often as you like.

The Diet Doctor鈥檚 Wife: This recipe is based on my mother鈥檚 sweet and sour cabbage soup. My version is vegetarian and just as yummy. I can eat a whole pot-full in just one sitting. Thankfully, it鈥檚 not at all fattening.





The Diet Doctor: This soup is great for dieting. It鈥檚 low in fat and calories, high in fiber, and has a mild diuretic effect. You can enjoy it in large quantities, guilt-free.
