Tomato Cabbage Soup

Chef #374195's Note:

This is the best cabbage soup I have ever tasted. I found this recipe in an old cookbook. I changed some of the ingredients as I love a thick soup, the chili sauce adds a lot of flavor to the soup.

Delicious! The only thing I did different was to use turkey stock instead of water, so left the beef bouillon out. Thanks! Made for cookbook tag.
