Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Base
- 1 large cabbage
- 2 small onions, diced
- 1 large celery stalk, chopped very small
- 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
- Water (enough to fill saucepan halfway)
Protein
- 1–2 pounds ground beef
Seasoning
- 1 pouch of Lipton Onion Soup Mix (any flavor)
- Spices of your choice (salt, pepper, paprika, etc.)
Instructions
- Boil Water and Add Vegetables: Begin by filling a large saucepan halfway with water and bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, add the chopped cabbage, diced onions, and finely chopped celery to the pot. Simmer gently until the vegetables begin to soften, releasing their flavors into the broth.
- Cook the Ground Beef: While the vegetables simmer, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is browned all over, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain off any excess fat to keep the soup from becoming greasy.
- Add Tomatoes and Soup Mix: Return your attention to the saucepan and stir in the two cans of stewed tomatoes along with the entire pouch of Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors evenly throughout the broth.
- Combine Beef and Simmer: Add the browned ground beef into the saucepan with the vegetables and tomatoes. Stir everything together, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Let the soup cook for a few more minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Season to Taste: Finally, add your preferred spices such as salt, pepper, or paprika to suit your taste. Stir well and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Ladle the hot cabbage soup into bowls and enjoy immediately. This soup is perfect for a cozy meal and can be paired with crusty bread for extra satisfaction.
Notes
- Using the Lipton Onion Soup Mix adds a rich flavor and reduces the need for additional seasonings.
- Adjust the amount of ground beef based on your preference for protein content.
- For a leaner option, substitute ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
- Add other vegetables like carrots or potatoes for added nutrients and variety.
