This Weight Watchers cabbage soup recipe is a simpler version of minestrone. It's a 45-year-old family favorite straight from my grandma's recipe box, with a few extra vegetables added in.

1teaspoonItalian seasoning
2smallzucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced ¼-inch thick
1cupshredded cabbage
1largecarrot, peeled and sliced into ¼ inch pieces
Instructions
Sauté the aromatics. Spray a stock pot or large Dutch oven with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
Add the mushrooms. Stir in the mushrooms, season with the kosher salt, and continue cooking for 3-4 more minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients and simmer. Add the tomato juice and broth. Add the beans with the Italian seasoning and black pepper, and stir in the zucchini, cabbage, and carrot. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30-45 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Notes
Storage: This soup will last in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, and it makes great leftovers! Freeze the soup in airtight containers or Ziploc bags and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
