Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup With Raisins
Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1⁄2 cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1⁄4 cup golden raisin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsly ground
Directions
- Brown the beef in in large dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat.
- After a few minutes, add the onion, and continue cooking until the onions are transparent, and most of the pink is gone from the meat, about 10 minutes total.
- Drain any excess grease from the meat and onions, and return to the pan.
- Add the cabbage and 1/4 cup of the water, cover, and cook over medium heat until the cabbage is limp and getting tender, but still holds its shape, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients, and simmer until the vegetables in the soup are as tender as you would like, about 30 minutes.
- Serve with additional lemon juice and fresh ground pepper, to taste.
- Like many soups, this is much better the second day after the flavors have a chance to blend.
