Cabbage Patch Stew


Welcome to Zoulah's Bewitchen Kitchen!

The fall weather starts to chill and when that happens Zoulah thinks of soup -- can you believe Zoulah is posting something that is not sweet?  Zoulah has a sweet tooth during Halloween.  When I was first married, my mother-in-law, Geniel, made this soup on a cool Halloween evening.  Ever since then I have always associated this soup with Halloween.

Recipe for Cabbage Patch Stew

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
4 ribs celery, diced
1 large diced onion
1 package of cole slaw or 1/2 cabbage head diced into small pieces -- If you use the cole slaw, use the small package available in produce.
2 cups water
3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans -- not drained
` 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 large (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

In large sauce pan or Dutch Oven, brown and drain ground beef.  Add onions, celery, cole slaw or cabbage, and water  to beef and simmer for 15 minutes.  Add remaining ingredients and simmer another 30 minutes.

Even Zoulah has to watch her bewitching figure. You know how shallow warlocks are...

I am in a very soupy mood and will try this soon. La
