Notes
Sauté First: Start by browning the ground beef and onions for extra flavor. This step adds a delicious depth to the soup.
Use Fresh Cabbage: Fresh cabbage gives the soup a nice texture and adds a bit of sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savory broth.
Let It Simmer: Give the soup some time to simmer so all the flavors meld together – it makes the soup extra rich and cozy!
