Meatball and Cabbage Soup
My family loves ground beef and cabbage soup, so this recipe is a tremendous hit. I usually reserve soup recipes for fall and winter, but this one screams for attention, begging to be made and eaten.Actually, it’s my family begging me to make it, but you get the point. Your home will smell so good while this is simmering. Make sure to close your windows, or you’ll have your neighbors begging for some.
