Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup With Raisins
- Ready In:
- 1hr 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1⁄2 cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1⁄4 cup golden raisin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsly ground
directions
- Brown the beef in in large dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat.
- After a few minutes, add the onion, and continue cooking until the onions are transparent, and most of the pink is gone from the meat, about 10 minutes total.
- Drain any excess grease from the meat and onions, and return to the pan.
- Add the cabbage and 1/4 cup of the water, cover, and cook over medium heat until the cabbage is limp and getting tender, but still holds its shape, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients, and simmer until the vegetables in the soup are as tender as you would like, about 30 minutes.
- Serve with additional lemon juice and fresh ground pepper, to taste.
- Like many soups, this is much better the second day after the flavors have a chance to blend.

Outstanding soup/stew and very hearty! I made a few minor changes to this recipe based on what I had on hand and also to help clean out the veggie drawer by using ground chicken instead of beef and 1 can of Rotel tomatoes (10 ounce can) and 1 (8 ounce can) tomato sauce. i also added 1 jalapeno, 1 parsnip and some frozen green peas. Wonderful and very flavorful with some heat from the jalapenos. Yumm! Thanks for sharing!

<p>I live in Colorado Springs. I enjoy collecting, reading and trying recipes from old cookbooks -- they are always an interesting window into domestic history. I enjoy learning classic cooking techniques and then applying them to home cooking. I am currently working on learning about the five "mother sauces" and the variety of sauces that can be made from them. But I'm also a big fan of plain old mid-western farm cooking, too, which I learned from my grandmother and mother.</p>
