Surprisingly Simple Cabbage Beef Soup
1 lb. lean ground sirloin, browned and drained
1 sweet onion, chopped (about 1 to 1½ cups)
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
3-4 C. coarsely chopped cabbage
¼ C. Worcestershire sauce
1 TBSP. oil
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
3¾ C. water (or two 15 oz. cans full)
Salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
Spray a large pot with cooking spray. Heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the onion, carrots and cabbage for about 8 minutes, stirring often. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir about 2 more minutes. Add tomato sauce, beef, water, potatoes and kidney beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, approximately 10 minutes. Serve with cheese and crackers, peanut butter or a nice tossed salad for a quick meal. Makes 4-6 servings.
