Warm & Hearty Beef Cabbage Soup
This soup reminds me of the holidays! Beef Cabbage Soup – Perfect!
My extended family would get together every holiday for ‘Cookie Day’ where we would bake some of my grandmother’s favorite Norwegian Christmas cookies. Dozens of Krum Kaka and Berlinerkranser later, we had hungry mouths to feed and this soup really hit the spot.
While it was always a loud and chaotic event, my aunt’s mother, Helen, always brought a big pot of Beef Cabbage Soup. So delcious. We ate our fill with warm crusty bread and plenty of laughs.
As we said our goodbyes and packed up the cookie treasures for everyone to take home (at least those that weren’t already eaten), everyone always got a ‘to-go’ package that included this wonderful soup.
Try it when the weather is crisp or you just miss someone special.
