- 2 tbsp Garlic and Herb Seasoning
- 1 tsp Slap Ya Mama Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1 Small Diced Green Bell Pepper
- 1 Small Diced Yellow Onion
- 2 Sliced Carrots
- 2 Sliced Ribs of Celery
- 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 Whole Head of Green Cabbage, chopped
- 2 Medium Russet Potatoes, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
Liquids and Other
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 2 14.5 oz Cans of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano
- 1 heaping tablespoon Knorr beef bouillon
- 4 cups Water or beef/chicken broth
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Sauté the Vegetables and Season: Add the diced green bell pepper, yellow onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Season with garlic and herb seasoning, Slap Ya Mama seasoning, and black pepper. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add Tomato Paste: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to develop the flavor.
- Introduce Potatoes: Add the chopped russet potatoes to the pot and mix well to combine with the other ingredients.
- Add Tomatoes and Garlic: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices and add the minced garlic. Stir everything together thoroughly.
- Add Cabbage: Stir in the chopped cabbage in batches as needed, pressing it down into the pot; it will reduce significantly as it cooks.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Add the Knorr beef bouillon and pour in 4 cups of water or broth. Stir to combine, then bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until potatoes and cabbage are tender.
- Season and Serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve the soup hot and enjoy your hearty meal.
