Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 large cabbage, chopped
- 2 small onions, diced
- 1 large celery stalk, finely chopped
Proteins
- 1-2 pounds ground beef
Pantry Items
- 2 cans stewed tomatoes
- 1 pouch Lipton Onion Soup Mix (any flavor)
- Water (enough to fill saucepan halfway)
- Spices of your choice (such as salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder)
Instructions
- Boil Water: Begin by filling a large saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the chopped cabbage, diced onions, and finely chopped celery to the boiling water. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables start to soften, about 10-15 minutes.
- Brown Ground Beef: While vegetables are simmering, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring frequently, until fully browned and no longer pink inside. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Add Tomatoes and Soup Mix: Stir in the two cans of stewed tomatoes and the entire pouch of Lipton Onion Soup Mix into the saucepan with the softened vegetables, mixing thoroughly.
- Combine Beef with Soup: Add the cooked ground beef into the saucepan with the vegetable and tomato mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Simmer Soup: Allow the soup to simmer together for an additional 5-10 minutes to blend the flavors and heat through completely.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with your choice of spices such as salt, pepper, or herbs to your preference. Serve the soup hot and enjoy.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of ground beef depending on your preference for a meatier or lighter soup.
- For a spicier soup, add crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Using low-sodium stewed tomatoes can help control the salt content.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
