There are many more options. I suggest you google zero point vegetables on the internet and use your favourite ones from the list.
Instructions - Step by Step Pictures
Take a dutch oven or a thick bottomed saucepan and spray it with cooking oil spray.

Add in salt, red chilli powder or cayenne pepper powder, black pepper powder, chopped basil, oregano and parsley along with tomato paste.
Add vegetable broth or homemade vegetable stock.

- Add tomato paste.

- Stir everything well and add chopped cabbage.
- Cover with an IP lid and set the mode on low pressure for 4 minutes. Make sure that the pressure valve is in the sealing position.
- After this allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes and then force release the pressure.
- After the pressure is released completely, open the pressure cooker and enjoy the soup hot or warm.
Substitutions
- Vegetables- I have used cabbage, onions, carrots, green beans, and zucchini but I have mentioned a wide array of vegetables you can use. Zucchini, bell peppers, and chillies are some of the vegetables that taste super delicious in soup.
- Broth- Instead of vegetable broth, you can go for mushroom broth, bone broth or chicken broth.
- Ginger- Thai ginger adds most flavour in the soup but if you can’t find it use regular ginger.
- You can add garlic if you like the taste.
Recipe Notes
- If you prefer thicker soup you can puree it completely and enjoy. Or puree half the amount and add back the rest of the soup with chunky vegetables.
- Some people claim that this soup is the key to their weight reduction success. It's a delicious afternoon snack or dinner appetiser whenever you feel hungry.
- You can make this vegetable soup in a variety of ways. Add or remove vegetables to suit your preferences.
- One can use frozen veggies instead of fresh ones to save time but the texture will be different slightly. Frozen vegetables require less cooking time so reduce the cooking time to half.
- You may also buy modest quantities of pre-cut veggies at the salad bar at your store.
Storing Veggie Soup
You can store the leftover vegetable soup in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to freeze it I recommend freezing it in single serve freezer safe containers. That way it is easier to warm it up and enjoy a delicious bowl of soup any time.
Serving Suggestions
Unlike some of the early Cabbage Soup recipes, this soup is flavorful, light, and full of crisp fresh veggies. It may be eaten with a piece or two of Low Point Bread for a low point lunch, or it can be consumed in between meals if you need to stave off hunger!
