  • 6 cups water
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable juice

Place in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.

  • 3 lg onions

Meanwhile, chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

  • 4 cups cored and shredded cabbage*
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (opt)
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt (opt)
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
