Cabbage Soup Recipe

• Serves: 4 generously

Ingredients

• 1 lb. organic grass-fed ground beef
• 6 oz. organic button or baby bella mushrooms
• 1 large organic yellow onion
• 1 head organic cabbage
• 5 cloves chopped garlic
• water or beef stock or vegetable stock
• up to 1 Tablespoon sea salt
• 2 organic bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon organic basil
• freshly grated black pepper
• other herbs as desired such as fresh chopped dill

Instructions

1. Brown ground beef over medium heat with chopped mushrooms and sliced onion in the bottom of a large stock pot or dutch oven until meat is browned and onion is transparent. Add water or coconut oil, if needed, to prevent sticking.

2. Chop cabbage and add to pot with garlic. Cover with water or stock. Bone soup may be used, if you have it. Simmer until cabbage is soft.

3. Season as desired using the suggested seasonings or whatever you have on hand. The amount of salt and other seasonings will depend on your taste, as well as the saltiness of your stock. If using water you will need to add more salt or your soup will taste very bland.

4. Serve piping hot. Drizzle each serving with some organic olive oil and sprinkle with nutritional yeast.

Variations:

If gluten is not an issue, add a handful of barley with the cabbage.

If dairy is not an issue, substitute freshly grated parmesan cheese for the nutritional yeast.
