Really, really good meal. I doubled the diced tomatoes, used only 1/8 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 cup brown rice, an extra bouillon cube, and only 1/2 tsp salt. I also used 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb pork sausage which I browned and drained first. I am going to have to try this with venison, as other reviewers have.

Great soup recipe! I did use brown sugar instead of the white sugar & used 1/2 cup of vinegar. Also used venison meat - TERRIFIC taste!

I cut the sugar in half and used part italian sausage for the beef. Even better after I froze the leftovers.

Made this today for the first time. Enjoyed it very much. Used quart of Kitchen Basics Beef Stock instead of bouillon cubes. Used Meatball mix (part ground beef, part ground pork) Added a bit of leeks and green pepper because I had them to use up. Increased vinegar to 1/4 cup, but left sugar at 1/2. Might cut cabbage smaller or even shred the next time. Makes much more than 4 servings, which is no problem. Love leftovers and am sure it will freeze well.

4 stars from a Polish chef! This recipe is pretty authentic and close to home. I did not find it too sweet or too greasy, like many other reviewers. (Hello, it's called "Sweet" soup!) However, I only use ground chuck which is not as fatty as supermarket chop meat. I used only 3 bouillon cubes to cut down on salt, and it was just right. The next time I make this I will use chunks of meat instead of ground, as another reviewer suggested. My only advice is BIG pot!!! Thanks for sharing.

Just fantastic. I browned the ground beef and onion before adding other ingredients. Adjusted the sweet sour to 1/4 c vinegar and 1/4 c brown sugar. Next time I'll sub a can of tomato soup for the 8 oz of tomato sauce which will give it a little more oomph. Also threw in 1 can of beef broth for good measure. Added some instant brown rice at the end (not my fav, but holds up really well in the soup)which was a great complement. The flavor was fantastic -- this is the def of comfort food. Immediately a classic.

Yum! I was very impressed with the outcome, of this recipe. It smelled so good and tasted even better. Next time I will more diligently crumble the beef, and simmer a little longer. I used beef stock (vs.water) and a couple of cubes, also a little extra vinegar.

This is pretty good stuff! Make sure you have big pot or make the serving sizes smaller. Our largest pot didn't quite cut it. It was overflowing by the end.

Ground beef is just not good in a soup. The flavor was rather bland to me and I always ended up adding lots of extras to make this soup more palatable. I think the soup might work if stew meat or chicken was used instead of ground beef, also my guess is stock would be a lot better than bouillon. I don't know why this is so highly rated.

My Russian friend makes this soup, but with chicken. When she didn't have tomatoe sauce she used katchup and didn't put sugar in it. Sooo good! And like like another rater said, you crave it after you finish just a bit. I don't think she put bulion in hers, but then again, she did cook the chicken in it. I am going to try the recipe myself and will update my review then.

I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!! The changes I make to it are I brown the hamburg meat before adding, Add 1-2 more cloves of garlic, you can't taste the garlic trust me. I also use apple cider vinegar, which I think gives it a better taste. I use a little more vinegar than called for, I just keep adding tablespoons until I like the taste, usually about 4 tblsp. I use chicken bouillon instead of beef. Also with the cabbage I just chop it up into small pieces, this makes a big difference. Especially if you have young children like me, it is way easier to eat this way. My family just goes crazy over this recipe. My husband will sometimes add cayenne to his bowl of soup for some kick. Pair it will some crusty bread and you will just be in heaven!

I have been eating this soup for 6 months at least. The only thing I have changed in all that time is less sugar since the reason I picked up this recipe was to find a good fat burner. Not only is it delicious but also good for you.

This recipe was much better than expected. I'm wasn't a big cabbage eater but this soup is delicious and very interesting to eat and I kept finding myself going back for more. I had a few others try it and the loved it and I passed the recipe along. Already looking forward to the next time I fix it. This dish will be a regular meal for me and my family. Yumm!

Love this soup! I used to make cabbage soup for the famous diet. This is much better! I followed some suggestions and used brown sugar, a little extra vinegar. I added 1 cup of red wine and a little crushed red pepper. I used 1/3 sausage and 2/3 ground beef. I LOVE THIS SOUP! I make a cabbage soup with beans and ground beef that we like, so I might try adding a few kidney beans next time. But maybe not, since this is the best cabbage soup I've ever had!
