The Best cabbage and hamburger soup recipe

I have been making this cabbage and hamburger soup for years and it is one of those recipes that just works. My kids used to turn up their noses at cabbage but now they ask for this soup. It is a hearty meal that fills you up without being heavy. Cabbage is packed with fiber and vitamins and the hamburger adds protein so it is a balanced dinner. I love that I can make a big pot and have leftovers for lunch the next day. This soup is perfect for cold evenings or any time you want something warm and satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen.
