This is now my husband's favorite Cabbage Soup. The tomatoes with green chilies offered it just a bit of a bite, most certainly not overpowering and they added a great flavor.

How To Make cabbage soup....my version

    Place everything, except the ground beef, into a large 8-quart pan. Break the ground beef into small pieces. and place on top of the cabbage mixture. Place lid on top and cook on med for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cook until the onions soft and ground beef is completely cooked. Cabbage should be a tender crisp.
