Is Cabbage Soup Good for Weight Loss?

It’s completely understandable if you’re a little skeptical about whether or not cabbage soup can actually help you to lose weight.

It’s a rather low calorie soup and since weight loss boils down to calories in vs calories out, weight loss is a natural byproduct of eating low calorie meals like cabbage soup.
The liquid content of the soup helps to prevent dehydration. Many times when people feel hungry, they’re really feeling the effects of thirst and dehydration instead. By making sure that your body is properly hydrated, you should notice a marked decrease in hunger pangs and cravings.
Cabbage soup is incredibly nutrient-dense thanks to the sheer variety of vegetables and herbs used. Each bowl of this soup offers an abundance of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that give your body everything it needs to function at its best.

Can I Freeze This Cabbage Soup?

If you plan on freezing any leftover cabbage soup, you’ll first want to make sure that you allow the soup to cool completely after cooking. You can then transfer the soup into airtight freezer-safe containers before storing them in the freezer.

You’ll be able to keep this keto cabbage soup frozen for up to 3 months when stored like this.

How to Reheat This Keto Cabbage Weight Loss Soup

When you’re ready to thaw it out, I would recommend leaving it in the fridge overnight to thaw before reheating on the stove.

Before heating it on the stove, make sure to separate the vegetables from the broth. This way, you can heat the soup without cooking the vegetables further.
