Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cabbage, chopped
- 2 small onions, diced
- 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
- 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix (any flavor)
- 1 large stalk of celery, finely chopped
- 1-2 pounds of ground beef
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables: Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. While the water heats up, chop your cabbage into bite-sized pieces, dice the onions, and finely chop the celery.
- Start the Soup Base: Once the water boils, carefully add the chopped cabbage, diced onions, and finely chopped celery. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the vegetables cook until they soften.
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a separate skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it browns evenly. Stir frequently to break the meat into small crumbles. After cooking, drain the excess fat to reduce grease in the soup.
- Season the Meat: Stir in your favorite seasonings along with the Lipton onion soup mix into the browned meat. This adds a deep, savory flavor to the soup that pairs perfectly with the fresh vegetables.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the seasoned beef and stewed tomatoes to the pot with the simmering vegetables. Stir well to combine all the flavors and bring the soup back to a gentle boil.
- Simmer and Adjust: Allow the soup to simmer for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld together. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed—add salt, pepper, or extra herbs according to your preference.
