Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 medium head of cabbage chopped, about 4-5 cups
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 16oz can dark kidney beans
  • 2 stalks of celery sliced
  • 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes for the most flavor, I use canned whole tomatoes and rough chop while saving the juice.
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon beef base I use better than bouillon
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Oyster Crackers

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef and drain.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients to the beef. For the tomatoes and beans, add in everything including the juice. Bring to a boil and simmer for about an 30 minutes or until the onion and celery are tender.
  • Serve hot with oyster crackers on the side.

Notes

To freeze extras, let it cool completely before putting it into an airtight container and freezing. The soup will keep for about 2-3 months.
