I developed this to try and emulate the soup at a little cafe in Clinton, TN. They have great cabbage soup. This comes really close!

How to Make Traditional Cabbage Soup

Step-by-Step

Brown beef or sausage if necessary. Chop leftover roast.
Place beef, beans, water, bouillon cubes, onion and tomatoes in soup kettle. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring.
Stir in cabbage until well blended. Cover and simmer 1 hour until cabbage is well-cooked.
Season as desired, about 10 minutes before serving.
This can also be placed in a crock pot for 6-8 hours on low. Season 30 minutes before serving.
Great served with whole grain bread and pasture butter or herb-flavored olive oil.
