Number Of Ingredients 19

5 lb chuck roast, whole
2 onions, coarsely chopped
2 can(s) whole tomatoes, diced
1 can(s) tomato sauce, 15 ounces
1 bay leaf, optional
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp whole cloves
2 tsp allspice, whole
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp garlic powder
3 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 c ketchup
2 c red wine
4 qt water
1 cabbage head, quartered
salt to taste
pepper to taste
4 fresh mint sprigs
1-2 french bread loaves

Steps:

  • 1. Use a 6-8 quart pot and fill 1/2 to 2/3 full.
  • 2. Put meat, chopped onions, cinnamon, sauces, ketchup, wine and spices into pot and bring to a boil.
  • 3. Put the whole spices into a tea ball and submurge in broth.
  • 4. Check meat and right before it starts to flake, remove from the pot and let cool.
  • 5. Cut into bite size pieces while cabbage is cooking, and return to the pot after the cabbage is done.
  • 6. Should take 2-3 hours on a slow burner, but the meat is flavored better when cooked in a crockpot.
  • 7. The cabbage is added at the end and should be boiled until translucent, but not so it breaks up.
  • 8. The last thing to add before you turn off heat is mint.
  • 9. Serve Sopas over french bread slices.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but this soup wasn't too spicy for me. The heat from the chorizo was just right.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few extra carrots and celery in my fridge, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.
