Beef and Cabbage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The beef and cabbage soup is one of my go-to meals for a batch cooking session. Cabbage is one of my favourite vegetables, mainly because my mum was Irish and well if you didn't have cabbage once a week, were you even really Irish at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, though my mum would boil cabbage in a big stockpot with pork ribs, water and seasoning. Sounds pretty basic and not very appetizing, but it was actually really tasty. I guess you have to of grown up on it to agree. If you were really lucky you even got crubeens (I'll let you google to find out what those are). Now the pork ribs I was fine with, but the crubeens I just could not enjoy, whatever you did with them. Sorry, mum!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I now like my cabbage with beef, I think it must be moving to this side of the Atlantic. The richness of beef just goes amazing well with cabbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ground Beef and Cabbage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this delicious soup, we use just simple ground beef (or beef mince as it's called in the UK), reasonably cheap, although extra lean tends to be a little pricier. I always have a pack of ground beef in my freezer, as you never know when the kids just might request spaghetti bolognese or chilli for dinner and well who am I to disappoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most kids hate cabbage, but strangely in this Beef and Cabbage the soup the kids will eat it, I think it's because it's shredded like noodles and not as visibly green in their bowl. The tricks you will do to get kids (fussy ones) to eat vegetables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
