I have absolutely fallen in love with your website. So many great recipes — and they feel like REAL food with REAL ingredients. (Splenda is a dieter’s best friend, but we all need a little bit more sometimes!)
A couple of questions on this one: How big is a serving of this recipe? And how many servings does the soup make? I’d love it if you could e-mail me the answers to these questions.

Is there any way to lower the sodium count? The recipe sounds great! Thanks

The best way to make this a low sodium recipe is to eliminate the salt and use the boxed lower sodium vegetable broth. Hope that helps!

Dr. Oz says to substitute salt with lime juice and garlic salt. Also how many grams for fiber is in this soup. Spinach could also be substituted instead of the cabbage.

Iam sorry garlic powder and lime juice will lower sodium counts.
