When I saw Katie's recipe for Beef Cabbage Soup over at The Cutting Back Kitchen, I knew we had to try it! And I am so glad we did!
I made a few changes and was very pleased with the results!
Hearty Un-Stuffed Cabbage Soup
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 lb. bulk sausage (I used Bob Evans Zesty Sausage)
- 1/2 head cabbage, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 28 oz. can petite diced tomatoes
- 2 15 oz. cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 1/4 cups. tomato sauce
- 5 cups water
- 2 tsp. garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1 c. instant rice, uncooked
- Brown the ground beef and sausage in bottom of dutch oven or soup pot. Drain.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients (except the rice) and bring to a boil.
- Stir in rice, cover and reduce heat.
- Allow to simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
Notes:
- Thanks to the rice and beans, this was a very filling soup! The rice thickened the soup a bit and gave it a very nice, hearty texture!
- This super-easy recipe could be made even simpler if you have pre-cooked ground beef/sausage in your freezer!
- Serves about 8, depending on your serving size...we like hearty portions!
We really enjoyed this hearty and frugal soup and I'm sure I'll be making it again and again throughout the fall and winter months!

ReplyDeleteThe soup season is upon us and this sounds like a warm and toasty soup for the cold weather, when it comes. Thanks for sharing it with us on Let's Do Brunch.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a soup I am going to have to make with my mom this fall. Both hubby and my dad are not big fans of cabbage. Though mom and I would love snuggling up to a big bowl of this while we play cards on Saturdays.
ReplyDeleteThanks, visiting from Food Trip Friday.
