Ground Beef Cabbage Soup

Ground Beef Cabbage Soup

Cabbage soup is an easy and comforting soup that I grew up with as a child in Sweden. There are tons of cabbage soup variations, but this beef variation is my favorite! The ground beef really makes the soup more flavorful and hearty.
Ground Beef Cabbage Soup is a hearty meal for the colder seasons or it can be enjoyed on a day when you just want to stay home.
