Time 1h

Yield 1 batch, 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground beef
1/2 medium cabbage, chopped
1/2 large onion, diced
5 large white mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons red wine (Shiraz, Cabernet, Merlot)
10 cups water
4 tablespoons better than bouillon organic reduced sodium beef base
salt & pepper
season salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)
1 (12 ounce) bag mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, corn)
2 cups pasta (optional)

Steps:

  • Put ground beef, cabbage, onion, and mushroom in a large stock pot. Brown on medium high heat until ground beef is fully cooked and cabbage is wilted and almost transparent.
  • Add red wine. Let cook 1 minute. Add water, beef base, and seasonings. Bring to a rolling boil. Add tomato paste, if using. Reduce heat and simmer until 10 minutes prior to serving.
  • 15 minutes prior to serving add in bagged frozen vegetables. 10 minutes prior to serving add pasta (optional). Simmer until veggies and pasta* are done. Serve immediately.
  • *Note: If you are not planing on eating the entire batch in one sitting it would be beneficial to cook pasta separately and add it to individual bowls of soup. Otherwise, the leftover pasta in the soup is beyond mushy and not at all appetizing! I hate overcooked pasta!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb lean ground beef
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 small can tomato paste
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper, to taste
1 pkg cabbage coleslaw mix
1 can(s) short green beans
1 can(s) mixed veggies
1 can(s) beef broth
1 can(s) sliced potatoes

Steps:

  • 1. Brown your ground beef on medium/high heat with your onion until all pink is gone, but don't over cook. Add your can of tomato paste and your can of beef broth.
  • 2. Add your can of green beans, mixed veggies, potatoes and crushed tomatoes at this point. Add your Italian seasoning, salt & pepper and your garlic powder. Now let the soup come to a boil and then add your bag of cabbage mix then turn your heat down and let it simmer for 40 minutes, then turn it off and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • 3. I serve this with fresh bread or cornbread and is it filling. It even tastes good when you reheat it the next day.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used in beefy cabbage soup, but you can also use red or savoy cabbage. Just be sure to shred it finely so that it cooks evenly.
  • Brown the beef: Browning the beef before adding it to the soup helps to develop its flavor. Be sure to brown it in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat so that it gets a nice sear.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can add a variety of other vegetables to your beefy cabbage soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of vegetables to find your favorite.
  • Season the soup well: Beefy cabbage soup should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Common additions include garlic, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Let the soup simmer: The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be. Aim to simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.

Conclusion:

Beefy cabbage soup is a hearty, flavorful, and budget-friendly meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give beefy cabbage soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
