This was the perfect bowl of soup to enjoy on a snow day! I was pretty faithful to the recipe, except I used a 6 oz. can of tomato paste, and 4 cups of low-sodium beef broth and 2 cups of water. I also did not use the lemon wedges. A bowl of this is quite filling. Thanks for sharing. Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag Game.

I'm on a diet, and looking for recipes I can make and still fit into my diet.....so I used ground sirloin instead of ground beef to cut fat and calorie count. I was so pleasantly surprised by this recipe....It was delicious! I was able to eat a bowl full of this and still stay within my boundaries!!!! Thanks so much for a delicious, filling recipe. Made for Holiday Tag.

This was really good. I told my kids it has hamburger rice soup because if I mentioned the cabbage, they wouldn't have eaten it. But my 16 year old son went back for seconds. I didn't have tomato paste, so I used 2 cups of tomato juice and 2 cups of canned tomatoes. I added uncooked rice (about 1/3 cup) and let it cook for about 20 minutes right before we ate.

Instead of rice I used diced potatoes, the way my mom made it. I also made a stronger beef broth by using Broth making in a jar sold by Sam's Club. It last a long time and I always get a jar of the beef and the chicken. I like using the diced tomatoes in the soup. If the dice pieces are too large then a swish them up with my hand before going into the pot. This soup has so much flavor. Too bad hubby does not care for soup because this one is fantastic. Sometimes I make it with rice and when I do I also add bell peppers so its like a stuffed pepper soup. I can also divide in half and put the cabbage in only part of the soup. duh...should have thought of that earlier because that is the only thing hubby doesn't like. I am making this for supper tonight and will divide it up before adding the cabbage. Mine is so chocked full of cabbage it is almost a dish rather than a soup. A++ soup either way you make it. Its easy on the wallet as well.

After I made my typical corn beef and cabbage dinner for St. Pat's my father (who is very Polish) asked me to make cabbage and hamburger soup. Having never made it, I chose this one on a whim and I'm glad I did. This recipe was so super easy and it really impressed my dad. The only exception I made was instead of using the broth recommended in the recipe I used the stock from the said St. Pat's meal and that worked out great too. Thanks a lot :) I'll definitely be using it again.

This soup was perfect for me during a bad time with a cold. Was craving something warm and comforting and this soup did the trick. LOVE cabbage in my soup and I also bought the packaged cole slaw mix, used ground round, and all beef broth instead of the water. Made instant brown rice and liked the flavor in the soup better then plain white. Boomette thank you for sharing your recipe! Made and reviewed for the Went to the Market recipe tag game.
