CABBAGE SOUP

This recipe is from a friend's mom, Margo.  I thought it was amazing and had to have the recipe.  It's definitely good as is, but very easy to alter.  Below is Margo's recipe and below that are a couple changes I made.  

2 lbs ground beef

bag frozen mixed veggies

bag frozen corn

can rotel

2 cartons beef broth

2 packets onion soup mix

head of cabbage, chopped into bite size pieces

onion powder

garlic powder

salt & pepper

maggi seasoning or soy sauce

brown and drain ground beef, place in stock pot

add veggies, corn, rotel, broth and onion soup mix, bring to a boil

season with onion & garlic powder, salt & pepper and maggi seasoning to taste

reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes

add cabbage to soup and boil for about 20 minutes or until cabbage is done

cabbage soup combines vegetables, broth, seasonings and add ins - there are many variations.  Typically you would sauté veggies until soft and cabbage until it wilts add in broth and seasonings and simmer for 20-30 minutes.  Margo's recipe above was amazing but I decided to change it up a little bit and came up with this version.

1 lb ground beef

1 lb spicy ground sausage

carrots, peeled and sliced

2 potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes

2 cartons beef broth

2 packets onion soup mix

head of cabbage, chopped into bite size pieces

onion powder

garlic powder

salt & pepper

maggi seasoning or soy sauce

brown and drain ground meat, place in stock pot

add carrots, potatoes, cabbage, broth and onion soup mix, bring to a boil

season with onion & garlic powder, salt & pepper and maggi seasoning to taste

reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes
