The most important ingredient in cabbage soup is cabbage, an ideal dietary vegetable. This explains the popularity of low-calorie cabbage soup during dietary nutrition. 100 grams of cabbage contains only 26 calories. Another advantage of cabbage is its high fiber content, which cleanses the body and removes excess toxins and waste.
- Low-calorie cabbage soup can be prepared from either fresh white cabbage or sauerkraut. They have the same calorie content, so you can choose any one. However, you should take into account the fact that sauerkraut contains more salt, which can retain excess fluid in the body.
- It is also important to avoid fatty and rich broth. You can cook cabbage soup using plain water or vegetable broth. Mushroom broth is perfect for preparing this dish.

It is often prepared from onions, carrots, and sometimes celery is added to them. Vegetables are fried in copious amounts of vegetable oil, which adds a significant amount of calories. With proper nutrition, you need to fry vegetables in a non-stick frying pan with minimal addition of vegetable oil. One tablespoon will be enough.
