My favorite soups are the crazy ones! Those with a lot of ingredients! It’s just a melting pot of flavors. Check out this amazing southern style cabbage soup.

A dash of Old Bay seasoning.
A dash of salt-free Mrs Dash.

Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the celery, onion, bell pepper and garlic and remove from the skillet.
In the same skillet, brown the ground beef and drain off the grease.
Toss the cabbage in 4 tbsps of butter until tender then add the rest of the ingredients and cook until potatoes are soft.
In a large pot, mix all of the ingredients together and cook until the potatoes are done.

Easy, peasy and yummy! The thing about this soup, is that I never use the same ingredients twice! Feel free to add anything you like such as green beans, corn, lentils or any other vegetable.
