Time for Cabbage Soup

I looked out in my garden yesterday only to find some big, beautiful cabbage almost ready for cutting.  They tell me "Savoy Cabbage is the mildest and sweetest one can grow. 

I can't wait to make cabbage soup.  I ran across this recipe that sounds healthy and delicious.  It has only two Weight Watchers points for the whole pot. 

1/2 head of green cabbage, sliced
3 small zucchini.diced
1 large clove garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon dried Basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
salt to taste
12 ounces of V-8 vegetable juice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 can French Onion soup undiluted
2 cups chopped spinach or chard
1/2 cup finely sliced carrots
dash of Worcestershire sauce

Combine all ingredients; cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours.  This makes 6-8 servings.  If you don't have a crock pot I am sure this would work in a Dutch Oven on the stove top.
