How To Make Easy Cabbage Soup

Have you ever looked in your fridge and the only vegetable in good shape looking back at you is a single head of cabbage? Cabbage is like that; it can outlast almost any other vegetable. Now even if all you have in your fridge is some cabbage, there are only a few more pantry ingredients you need to make this easy, nourishing, and light cabbage soup.

This cabbage soup recipe does the impossible: it uses an entire head of cabbage in one go! Nearly every time I buy a cabbage, I whittle away at it for weeks, adding some to a slaw, some to a bowl, more to a taco, and so on. So the first time I made this cabbage soup recipe, I was shocked. I started by adding half of my cabbage. As it wilted down, it melted into the soup with the aromatic veggies and herbs. I didn’t want it to disappear – I was making cabbage soup, after all – so I added more. Before I knew it, every last ounce of my cabbage was in the pot!

Ingredients

  • 1 large cabbage.
  • 2 small onions diced
  • 2 cans of stewed tomatoes.
  • 1 pouch Lipton Onion Soup Mix any flavor.
  • 1 large celery chopped very small.
  • Ground beef

How To Make Easy Cabbage Soup

  1. Fill a large saucepan halfway with water, bring to a boil, then add the vegetables, then bring to a simmer.
  2. Cook 1-2 pounds of burger separately draining any fat.
  3. Add any spices you like and Lipton soup mix.
  4. Add the meat, simmer for a few more minutes then taste 😋

This soup is great for all of us, especially on rainy days!
