Cabbage and Beef Soup

My Swedish born friend shared this with me.  I recently made it with lean ground turkey breast instead of beef.  Good stuff.

• 1 lb lean ground beef (or turkey or chicken)
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt (or part Mrs. Dash for lower sodium
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 can (16 oz) kidney beans, undrained (but I drain them)
• 1/2 medium head cabbage, chopped
• 1 can (28 oz) tomatoes, chopped
• 1 tomato can water
• 4 beef boullion cubes (I use sodium free, then salt to taste)
• chopped fresh parsley (optionally added at the end on top of soup.

Brown beef.  Add all the remaining ingredients, except parsley and bring to a boil.  Simmer for about 1 hour.  Garnish with parsley.   This soup is pretty good frozen and is good for lunch.  Just freeze in individual containers for future use.
