Step-by-Step Directions to Prepare Cabbage Soup
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Begin by chopping the cabbage, dicing the onions, and finely chopping the celery. These will be the main vegetable components of your soup, bringing in texture and volume. For the canned stewed tomatoes, simply open the cans and set them aside for later use.
Step 2: Bring Water to a Boil
Fill a large saucepan or stockpot halfway with water and bring it to a rolling boil. The water should be hot enough to cook your vegetables through without being too aggressive.
Step 3: Add the Vegetables
Once the water is boiling, add your chopped cabbage, onions, celery, and the canned stewed tomatoes to the pot. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and allow the vegetables to cook for about 15-20 minutes. This process will soften the vegetables and release their natural flavors into the soup.
Step 4: Cook the Ground Beef
In a separate skillet, cook 1 to 2 pounds of ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat, as too much grease can overwhelm the soup’s delicate flavors. For a leaner option, you can opt for ground turkey or chicken.
Step 5: Add Flavor with the Lipton Onion Soup Mix
Once your vegetables have softened, stir in the Lipton Onion Soup Mix. This will infuse the soup with a robust onion flavor that complements the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and the richness of the ground beef. If you prefer, you can experiment with different flavors of the mix to suit your taste.
