Sweet Russian Cabbage Soup

"This is a simple recipe for a wonderful rich cabbage soup."


Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground lean beef 
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes 
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce 
• 4 cubes beef bouillon 
• 2 medium carrots, shredded 
• 1 onion, chopped 
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar 
• 1/2 cup white sugar 
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 
• 2 quarts water, divided 
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 
• 1 head cabbage, cored and cut into wedges

Directions

Crumble the ground beef into a large pot. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef bouillon cubes, carrots, onion, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Pour in 1 quart of water, and bring to a boil. Stir to break up the beef while heating. Once the soup comes to a boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes over low heat.
Pour in another quart of water, and return to a slow boil. Add garlic and cabbage. Simmer for 25 minutes, until cabbage is tender. Ladle into soup bowls to serve.

Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
