Blue Ribbon Recipe

This hearty cabbage soup is full of flavor! Along with the red beans, the mixture of ground meat and sausage gives this soup a unique flavor. If you're not a fan of spice I'd suggest leaving the Rotel out, it adds a kick. All the fresh veggies are what really make this soup yummy. Adding the cabbage at the end keeps it from getting too soggy. Great as a meal alone or paired with a sandwich.

How To Make shoney's bean and beef cabbage soup

Test Kitchen Tips

Our seasoning of choice was 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Also, we did add water during the cooking process while the soup cooked down.

Step 1

Rinse beans and pick out any broken or bad beans. Soak the beans for two hours and drain.

Step 2

Cook the beans until almost done according to the package.
Step 3

Brown the ground beef and sausage and drain.
Step 4

Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook about 10 minutes.
Step 5

Add this and your cans of tomatoes to the bean pot.
Step 6

Season to your personal taste.
Step 7

Cook about an hour longer. When beans are tender, mash some of the beans along the sides of the pot to get a thicker soup.
Step 8

Add the chopped cabbage and simmer twenty more minutes. Serve warm with fresh toasted homemade croutons!
