Ingredients:

  • 1 can black beans
  • 3 cans kidney beans
  • 2 cans white beans
  • 2 cans pinto beans
  • 2 – 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 pounds lean hamburger
  • 1 cabbage, chopped
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • 1 bottle dark beer

Instructions:

  1. Preparation: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Rinse the canned beans under cold water and drain them thoroughly. Chop the onion and cabbage, and set them aside.

  2. Cooking the Base: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lean hamburger and diced onion. Cook until the hamburger is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain off any excess grease.

  3. Adding Flavor: To the pot, add in the rinsed and drained beans, diced tomatoes, chopped cabbage, and garlic powder to taste. Give everything a good stir to combine the ingredients evenly.

  4. Simmering: Pour in the beef broth until the ingredients are just covered. Then, crack open that bottle of dark beer and pour it into the pot. This is where the magic happens! The beer adds depth and richness to the soup, elevating it to another level of deliciousness.

  5. Bringing to a Simmer: Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 1 hour. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully, creating a savory and satisfying soup.

  6. Final Touches: After simmering, give the soup a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more garlic powder or salt and pepper to suit your preferences.

  7. Serving: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped fresh herbs. Serve alongside crusty bread or cornbread for a complete meal that’s sure to warm both hearts and bellies.

  8. Enjoy: Sit back, relax, and savor every spoonful of this comforting and flavorful soup. Whether it’s game day or a cozy night in, Jack’s Cabbage/Bean Soup is always a winner! 🏆

Tips:

  • Feel free to customize this recipe to your taste preferences. You can add extra vegetables like carrots, celery, or bell peppers for added texture and flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, simply omit the lean hamburger and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
  • This soup freezes well, so consider making a big batch and storing leftovers in individual portions for quick and easy meals later on.
  • Don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of beans or beer varieties to create your own unique twist on this classic recipe.

So there you have it – Jack’s secret recipe for a soul-warming cabbage and bean soup that’s sure to become a favorite in your household too! Enjoy the comforting flavors and the warmth it brings to every bowl. 🥄
