It seems like a long list of ingredients, but don’t let that scare you. This spicy cabbage soup isn’t difficult to make, and the end result is totally worth the effort! This soup will only get better after a day or two in the fridge, so I would advice you to make enough for leftovers!
If you’d like, you could make this a vegetarian version just by omitting the ground beef and beef bouillon cubes. Make sure you taste and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Or you could add some shredded chicken, or ground turkey for a lean option.
