Keto Crock Pot Cabbage Soup Recipe

Busy weeknights call for easy, family friendly meals, and this Crockpot Cabbage Soup recipe is a winner! It is full of vegetables and is a low calorie, low carb, and keto friendly soup, plus it’s zero points for Weight Watchers. It is rare to find a meal that suits all healthy eating styles but this one does.

When I first joined Weight Watchers in 2011, everyone raved about cabbage soup at the meetings. It was everyone’s go-to for adding more veggies without using up points. I love it because it is also macro-friendly and an easy way to pack in more veggies. Adding protein like chicken or turkey can make it even more filling.

zero point cabbage soup Ingredients

• White Onion-red onion or yellow onion will work fine as well.
• Green Cabbage– I had a 2.7-pound head of cabbage that I cut down. You can cut, shred, or grab bags of shredded cabbage in the produce department.
• Green Beans
• Celery ribs
• Baby Carrots– You can use full-size carrots to peel and cut down
• Red, Yellow, and Orange Bell Pepper–
• Minced Garlic
• Italian Seasoning
• Garlic Salt and Ground Black Pepper
• Chicken Broth– You can replace this with beef broth or vegetable broth.

Slow-Cooker Cabbage Soup Directions

Start by prepping your vegetables that need to be cut and chopped. The smaller the pieces of the vegetables, the faster they will cook in the crockpot. A food processor will shred the cabbage more quickly, or a vegetable chopper will make the prep faster.

Spray your crockpot with a nonstick spray or liner with a slow cooker liner.

I used an 8-quart crockpot to make my soup; I did a large batch so I would have leftovers for lunches and more quick dinners.

Start to put everything in your crockpot. I added the vegetables first, the seasonings, and then the broth.

Turn the crockpot on low and give everything a good mix.

While the soup is cooking, stir it occasionally.

Allow to cook in the crockpot on low for 4-6 hours; mine was done about the five-hour mark.

How To Store Crockpot Cabbage Soup

Allow the soup to cool completely and store in an airtight container. The soup can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 30 days.

Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.

A Note From Jenny

When starting any healthy lifestyle, consult a doctor to address any personal health concerns. Some things can only be addressed medically and by a professional. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before starting and at least once a year, as these all can affect an active lifestyle.

With so many different programs, such as Weight Watchers, Keto, and macros, it can be hard to know what to pick. (If you’re interested in Weight Watchers, you can sign up -> here and sign up for $10/month for 10 months.)

I personally use the app Myfitnesspal to track my food.  I use macros and focus on High Protein (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and rotate through cuts and maintenance calories. (Use a calculator like this -> here)  . I did WW for years, but now that I am more maintenance, with cuts throughout the year, and focusing on mobility with strength training. There is no right or wrong answer, as all bodies are different.
