📖Variations

  • Use regular or spicy V-8 juice—whichever you prefer!
  • If you’re not a fan of V-8, you can use vegetable broth, chicken broth, homemade chicken stock, or beef broth. (Use a low-sodium broth to keep this zero-point soup healthy!)
  • Feel free to add extra veggies, like bell peppers, butternut squash, stalks of celery, cauliflower rice, or green onions.
  • Though 0-point Weight Watcher's soup calls for green cabbage, red cabbage works well, too! It'll add a peppery taste—but no extra points.
  • If you like spicy foods, add a dash of red pepper flakes and some cayenne to your slow cooker for an extra kick.
  • A tablespoon of tomato paste will give your soup more depth of flavor.
  • You can swap the oregano and basil in a pinch with Italian seasoning.

🔪 Instructions

This is an overview of the instructions. Full instructions are in the green recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  1. Add the chopped cabbage, onion, green beans, zucchini, carrots, and garlic to the slow cooker.
  2. Season the fresh vegetables with salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil.
  3. Add the V-8 tomato juice.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

🍴 Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • cutting board
  • sharp knife

🥫 How to store leftovers

With soup so tasty, you might want to eat it all—and you can, 'cause it's healthy! Right?

If you have leftovers, refrigerate the cabbage soup in an airtight container for up to four days. I recommend using glass, as the V-8 sauce can stain plastic.

Reheat servings in the microwave or over medium heat in a saucepan until warm.

If you have a lot of 0-point Weight Watcher's cabbage soup left over, freeze individual portions in an airtight container or Ziploc freezer bags for up to three months.

Defrost frozen soup in the fridge or place it directly in a pot on the stovetop to warm up.

💭 Things to know

Expert Tip: Adjust the cooking time depending on how crunchy or soft you like your veggies. But beware—cook ‘em too long and they’ll get mushy!

  • Feel free to use a bag of frozen vegetables (carrots, green beans, and peas) to make prep even simpler.
  • Fresh herbs are a great addition to this soup. Add a bay leaf, fresh rosemary, fresh sage, or fresh thyme.
  • I like to make a double batch and freeze some for another quick dinner.
  • Store leftover soup in individual portion sizes for a quick ‘n easy lunch the next day.

👩‍🍳 FAQs

How do I make this soup on the stovetop?

If you’re short on time, make this in a Dutch oven or large stock pot in under an hour. Spray your pot with non-stick cooking spray or use a tablespoon of olive oil to saute the garlic, onions, and carrots on medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Then, add the V-8 and seasonings and bring to a light boil. Stir in the chopped cabbage, zucchini, and green beans. Finally, cover the pot and simmer on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes.

How long do I cook 0-point Weight Watcher's cabbage soup on high heat in the crockpot?

If you set your slow cooker on high, it will take about 3 hours for the vegetables to become tender.

Can I use frozen vegetables in this Weight Watchers soup recipe?

Absolutely! You can use frozen chopped onion, carrots, zucchini, and green beans in this soup for even faster prep. Just toss ‘em in the slow cooker without thawing. However, this soup is best made with fresh cabbage.

Is Weight Watchers cabbage soup a low-carb recipe?

It sure is! Not only does this meal have zero WW points, but it’s also a good soup for keto diets. Although cabbage soup is low-carb, it still has a few net carbs from the vegetables.
