Tips
- If you don’t have ground beef, you can use ground pork, lamb, turkey or chicken.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge up to 4 days.
- You can also add 1/2 cup uncooked rice to this soup and add in extra 1 cup water (or broth). Add it in with the cabbage.
- I used 1 small head cabbage for the diced 5 cups cabbage. Leave out the stem.
- If you’re on a Gluten Free diet, make sure you use Tamari instead of Soy Sauce.
- If you are Dairy Free, leave out the sour cream and grated parmesan OPTIONAL toppings.
- This soup freezes great.
