Chunky Beef, Cabbage and Tomato Soup

Its been a couple of weeks since I've cooked something new. Finally feeling settled in the new place and cooking will make me feel even more settled. 

It's a blustery, rainy, coldish day here in Seattle. The perfect day for soup. And I found just the soup! I've made a couple of cabbage and beef soups in the past. All of them delicious. This one, equally as delicious. Super easy and enough leftovers for everyone. 

Make this soup. SkinnyTaste never disappoints and this one doesn't either.
