Cabbage Soup

I was looking for a cabbage recipe after New Year's since cabbage was on sale so cheap. As usual, I tweaked it to my own liking. 

Cabbage Soup

1 lb. ground beef

2 T. Cavendars (Greek seasoning) (original recipe calls for Paprika)

1 small onion-diced

2 carrots-sliced

4 cloves of garlic-minced

1 can of Rotel-of course I used the Habanero flavored (original recipe calls for tomato sauce)

2 beef bouillon cubes

1/2 head of cabbage-thinly sliced

1/2 C. of lettuce

salt and pepper to season. 

Thinly slice cabbage, add beef cubes, and cover with water. Boil cabbage until slightly soft. 

While waiting on cabbage to cook, brown hamburger with onions, carrots, and garlic. Drain off any excess grease. Then add the Rotel. Simmer. Cabbage water may need to be reduced before adding rest of the ingredients. Add rice and cook until rice is soft. 

Variation:

I had some things I needed to get out of the frig. I added approximately 2 cans of black eyed peas with jalapenos. I think this really made the dish great. Since I needed rice, I just added some leftover broccoli and rice casserole for the rice.
