Made this soup today. I followed the recipe as written. It was very good, but I felt it needed a little something extra. I added 1/4 teaspoon of fennel seeds and 1/2 teaspoon of thyme. I also added 1 can of northern white beans. It was just enough give it a little more flavor. Came out fantastic. Thanks so much for the recipe. Its definitely a keeper.

WE call this “Stuffed Cabbage Casserole” When my mom couldn’t eat the thing anymore she just loved this! Put it with mashed potatoes it is almost like the real thing!

I made this for the first time to use up garden vegetables. My husband and I loved it. I can see tweaking it with various ingredients as others have indicated. It would be a good recipe to freeze for winter soup eating.

Hi, I absolutely love this recipe but I tweaked it a lot to add extra ingredients to make it more of a meal since I feed a hungry "growing man". Lol. I added diced, peeled potatoes and carrots, also a cup of macaroni noodles too and minced garlic as well, about 1 tablespoon. I did not add salt because I used more beef bullion packets(each packet is good for flavoring 2 cups of H2O) I was easy on the pepper and I chose not to add the brown sugar because the tomato sauce/ketchup was enough sweetness. Absolutely delicious!!!

This is an excellent recipe. I've made it exactly as published and also messed with it sometimes. I've found that the recipe works well with pork/ham, or without meat as well. I also sometimes add some Korean chile garlic sauce for some spiciness and because I love garlic.

Great recipe, but I tweaked at a little. I dissolved three beef bullion cubes in the water before I added the cabbage, celery, onions and carrots. Then instead of ground beef, I used chorizo. Also I used 1/3 cup of ketchup and 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar. I also added a table spoon of Paprika. However, I skipped the salt and pepper all together. The 3 bullion cubes added sufficient salt and pepper. I loved it so much I ate three bowls.

Absolutely delicious !the only thing I did differently was to use 32 oz of beef stock and 32 oz of water instead of all water and beef granules and 3 tbs brown sugar personal preference. I think it would be good with added veg such as carrots.

I lost 30 lbs in 3 months eating this soup AND it wasn't hard because it is DELICIOUS. I just replace the ground beef with ground turkey. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this recipe.

I risked making several changes. Luckily, it ended outstandingly. This will be a regular for sure. I split the recipe in half. Cooked 1/2 a cabbage, 1 onion and 1 stick celery in 1 can beef stock and added enough water to cover (approx 2 or 3 cups water). Added 1 rounded tsp Mrs. Dash. Simmered 20-30 min til just tender. Added only one 8oz can tomato sauce, 1 Tbsp ketchup and only 1/2 tsp salt. it was a bit peppery from Mrs. Dash, so i ended up adding 3 rounded Tablespoons of brown sugar to taste. I also added 1 cup half and half and used a hand blender to smooth out about half of it. The end result: bright, sweet, rich, WONDERFUL! :) No meat included.
