Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large cabbage, chopped
- 2 small onions, diced
- 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
- 1 large celery stalk, chopped very small
- 1-2 pounds ground beef (cooked and drained)
- 1 pouch Lipton Onion Soup Mix (any flavor)
Spices
- Spices to taste (such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or paprika)
Instructions
- Boil Water: Fill a large saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat to prepare the cooking base for the soup.
- Add Vegetables: Add the chopped cabbage, diced onions, stewed tomatoes (with their juices), and chopped celery to the boiling water. Reduce the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a separate pan over medium-high heat, cook 1 to 2 pounds of ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess fat thoroughly to avoid greasiness in the soup.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked and drained ground beef into the simmering vegetable mixture in the saucepan, then stir in the entire pouch of Lipton onion soup mix, ensuring it dissolves and evenly flavors the soup.
- Simmer and Season: Continue to simmer the combined mixture for a few more minutes to meld flavors together. Season with any additional spices you prefer to enhance the taste according to your preference.
- Taste and Serve: Carefully taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once satisfied with the flavor, serve the soup warm for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Drain the ground beef fat well to keep the soup from becoming oily.
- You can add more or less ground beef depending on your preference for meatiness.
- Optional spices like garlic powder, black pepper, or smoked paprika can add an extra depth of flavor.
- This soup reheats well and tastes even better the next day as flavors meld.
- Use low-sodium canned tomatoes and soup mix if you want to reduce salt content.
