Fill a large saucepan halfway with water. This will be the base of your soup. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the chopped cabbage, diced onions, and celery to the saucepan.
Reduce the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let the vegetables cook until they are tender. This should take about 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the Ground Beef:
While the vegetables are simmering, cook the ground beef separately. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat. This step is important to keep the soup from becoming too greasy.
Combine the Ingredients:
Add the cooked ground beef to the simmering vegetables in the large saucepan.
Open the two cans of stewed tomatoes and add them to the soup. The tomatoes will provide a rich, tangy flavor that complements the cabbage and beef perfectly.
Season the Soup:
Open the pouch of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and stir it into the soup. This mix adds a burst of savory flavor that ties all the ingredients together.
Season the soup with any additional spices you like. Common choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and bay leaves. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Simmer and Serve:
Continue to simmer the soup for another 10-15 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together and ensures the soup is piping hot.
Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and serve. Enjoy the comforting warmth of this easy, delicious cabbage soup
