1) There are no actual measurements to this soup, but I will give an "about" measurement. Brown Hamburger and salt and pepper it. Set aside.
2) Saute about 1 to 2 chopped onions in olive oil (My Dad goes heavy on the onions). Once the onions have cooked enough to make you happy add about 4 to 5 large carrots chopped/diced/sliced...whatever. Continue to saute. Then add about 4 to 5 potatoes (red or white) sliced/chopped/diced.
3) Add 1 to 2 cans of Stewed Tomatoes (plain or Italian) If tomatoes are in season I chop up fresh tomatoes instead of the Stewed Tomatoes. Sometimes I blend the tomatoes. Add some water (the amount depends on the amount of vegetables you have in your pot)...about 6-10 cups. Then add some (about 3-4) bouillon cubes (beef or chicken). Cook until the potatoes and carrots are cooked.
4) Seasonings: Shake in some of the following seasonings: Salt and Pepper, Greek Seasoning, Italian Seasoning or a little Basil and Oregano, A little bit of Red Pepper Flakes, Parsley...and whatever else you like. This time I used S&P, Greek Seasoning, Basil and Oregano, Red Pepper Flakes and It was good. Just remember start with a little bit - You can always add more.
5) Add your hamburger. Then add about 1/2 to a whole chopped cabbage. (My Dad also goes heavy on the cabbage. He makes the soup the best). Let the soup simmer until the cabbage is cooked. Serve with Swiss cheese.
