Shoney's Cabbage-Beef Soup


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 146 Posts

This is our very favorite soup, and is surprisingly easy and fun to make. It doesn't require a long cooking time before being ready to eat. Very nourishing, delicious, and fresh tasting. If you don't like a particular vegetable, you could leave it out and it'd still be a good soup. It makes a lot, and keeps for a couple of days in the refrigerator. Just take out the amount you want to eat or serve and heat it, leaving the rest in the fridge.

This soup is wonderful all by itself, but best of all when served with nice hot buttered cornbread.
