Green Cabbage And Hamburger Soup

Ingredients:
1 large onion, chopped
6 cups shredded cabbage (about ½ large head)
6 cups water
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon salt
4 allspice berries
3 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste or 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes

Directions:
IN A LARGE SOUP POT, combine the onion, cabbage, water, sugar, Worcestershire
sauce, salt, allspice, peppercorns, bay leaf, and ground beef and bring to a simmer.
Cook, covered, 1 hour, until the vegetables are well cooked and the soup comes
together.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook until heated through. The soup can be served
immediately but improves if simmered for 2 to 3 hours.
