I received an email about this soup and had to pass it on. I'll file this under the
"Hope This Works" file. It is certainly easy on the budget!

from FITworks:

“The spices and vegetables in this soup have been specially selected to make it a negative-calorie meal – that means the more of this soup that you eat, the more calories you burn. That’s the power of thermogenic foods.”

Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cups low sodium beef broth
1 cup water
1 whole green bell pepper, chopped
1 whole red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup celery, chopped
3 green onions chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 head chopped cabbage
2 dashes cayenne pepper
pepper to taste
