While cabbage soup cannot be considered as a complete balanced diet, it is nutritious enough and provides various benefits to a person in context of health and fitness.

Cabbage soup
is a low calorie soup and can thus help a person to remain fit along with providing health benefits. Moreover, this soup can be easily made at home by following the given procedure. To prepare a simple and a healthy cabbage soup at home, one should cut 25 gm of cabbage, 225 gm of bottle gourd, 2 medium sized onions and 2 potatoes. Then one should add these cut vegetables into a pressure cooker along with 7 cups of water and cook it. Then in a pan, add all finely cut and chopped vegetables and cook for at least 20 minutes.
