Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup With Raisins image

This soup is simple and cheap to make, and a favorite comfort food in my family. My mother got the recipe from a former employer and friend, and passed it along to me. It is not a highly flavored soup, so feel free to add extra seasoning if you are eating it as a main dish. The cracked black pepper and fresh lemon juice are important to the flavor of the dish. I usually add extra raisins because I like them so well.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • 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.
