Hearty Cabbage Soup with Ground Beef
Ingredients:
1 large head of cabbage, chopped
2 small onions, diced
2 cans (14.5 oz each) stewed tomatoes
1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (any flavor)
1 bunch celery, finely chopped
1–2 lbs ground beef
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional spices: garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning
Water
Directions:
Cook the Vegetables:
Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil.
Add the chopped cabbage, diced onions, stewed tomatoes (with juice), and chopped celery. Stir well and reduce heat to a simmer.
Cook the Ground Beef:
In a separate skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess fat.
Combine & Simmer:
Add the cooked beef to the simmering vegetable pot. Stir in the Lipton Onion Soup Mix and any spices you prefer—garlic powder, paprika, or a pinch of red pepper flakes work great!
Simmer the soup for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
Serve:
Ladle into bowls and serve hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a satisfying meal.
