Beef and Cabbage Soup

Beef and Cabbage Soup

  • 1 lb Stewing Beef (Grass fed)
  • 32 oz Chicken Broth (measure off 8 oz of that and sit aside)
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp Salt & Pepper
  • 1/4 c Apple Juice
  • 1 Head of Cabbage, lightly chopped
  • 29 oz of canned diced Tomatoes (don’t drain, you want the juice in the soup)
  • 1 t Parsley
  • 1/4 t Onion Powder
  • 1/4 t Garlic Powder
  • 1/8 t Cayenne Powder
  •  Salt & Pepper to taste

Put the beef, 24 oz of the chicken broth, the garlic, and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper in a large pot on the stove.  Add water until meat is covered.  Cook on low to med-low until meat is fully cooked.  Drain and break up meat to desired size.  Place beef back in pot. Add the reserved cup of chicken broth, apple juice, cabbage, tomatoes, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.  Add water until you see the liquid, DO NOT completely immerse everything, just bring fluid levels to about 1/4-1/2″ from the top of your stuff.  Cook on low to med-low for approx 1 hour until cabbage is tender.

Broccoli Slaw

     Broccoli Slaw

  • 4-5 c shredded broccoli, red cabbage and carrots (or bag of organic already shredded)
  • 3/4 c mayonnaise (add more or less for desired liquid ratio)
  • 1/4 c honey (I use raw local honey)
  • 2 T sugar (I use Turbinado raw cane sugar, but you can use honey granules, succanat, etc)
  • 2 T white vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients and stir, to reduce graininess of sugar, allow to sit in fridge for 30 min prior to serving.
