Cabbage Soup

Our weekly "detox" soup. 
A bowl of brown rice, drown it with the veg & soup, kids will slurp up every bit (: 
They LOVE it (& it makes momma happy)

Usually, the pot of veg soup will fill our tumtums and all of us turn "vegetarians" for a nite (except for the morsel of chicken off the bone in the soup).

This pot of delight was concocted when I felt lazy, fat and simply wanted to have a huge pot of food which will do justice to my waistline yet fill me up.
The kids loving it came as a pleasant surprise (:

No msg, no salt. This clear broth is bursting with flavors & naturally sweet from the ingredients.
