Cabbage Beef Soup has quickly become one of my favorite go-to recipes during the week.  This soup is so hearty and so easy to throw together after a long day of work.  I’ve seen so many different names for this soup, but since cabbage is the main ingredient that I use the most of in this recipe, I decided to just call it cabbage beef soup.

Growing up, I hated cabbage.  This is funny because I never tried it until I was much older, but just the smell alone would repulse me!  It made our whole house smell bad when my mom would fix cabbage and I could never understand just what the appeal was.  Fast forward thirty-something years and I finally gave it a try this past spring.  I was googling healthy recipes and came across one for cabbage soup.  I don’t know what made me want to finally give cabbage a try, but I was interested.  I really wasn’t impressed with most of the recipes because I was craving something heartier and more like vegetable soup and the recipes I saw for cabbage soup basically sounded like boiled cabbage and carrots.  It was then I decided that I would just throw together my own version and see how it tasted.  The end result was delicious and I make a pot of it just about every week because it makes so much that I can eat on it for days.

Cabbage Beef Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef (or more if you desire)

1 cabbage (or one bag of coleslaw mix with carrots added)

2 or 3 carrots (probably won’t need this if you buy the bag of coleslaw with carrots)

1 can of diced tomatoes

1 tall can (26 oz.) of tomato soup (or two smaller cans)

water enough to cover ingredients

Garlic Salt to taste

Directions:

Brown the ground beef and drain fat.

Wash and chop up the cabbage and carrots.  Add the browned ground beef, cabbage, and carrots to a large pot.

Add in the can of tomato soup and diced tomatoes.  Add in water.  You’ll want enough to cover the ingredients and fill the soup pot, but not too much so that it boils over easily when cooking.  Give everything a good stir and get ready to boil.

I add in my garlic salt at this point.  I use just a few shakes from the container.  I always taste test as the cooking goes along to see if it needs more or less.  This is definitely a personal choice.

I bring the ingredients to a good boil and then I let the soup simmer on medium heat for a good 30-45 minutes, enough to fully cook the cabbage and make it soft.  You’ll want to stir occasionally.

When I’m finally ready to eat, I pair my cabbage beef soup with some Keebler Club Crackers.  I just crush them up in the soup and it’s soooo good!

Side Notes:

Buying cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) makes for less chopping and prep work.  The soup won’t be as hearty with this, but it’s a quick go-to for me sometimes when I’m feeling a little lazy.

I’ve also added in a can of drained whole kernal corn or a can of diced potatoes.  Sometimes both if I really want to bulk it up!

I’d love to hear from you if you try this out and see what you thought!  Want another amazing soup recipe?  Check out my super simple taco soup recipe!
