Mom'S Yummy Cabbage Soup (Even If You Don'T Like Cabbage!) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1 small head of cabbage, cut up in sm. pieces
3 tablespoons sugar
10 allspice berries
1 bay leaf
1 onion
1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
6 cups water
2 -3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper

Preparation

In a large pot, put cut-up cabbage and raw ground beef, diced onion and all ingredients EXCEPT for the tomato paste.
Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat until the meat and cabbage are done. (NOTE: You do not have to drain the fat from the ground beef.) (The cabbage and beef usually get done at about the same time--if not, just cook a little longer till the cabbage is done.).
Turn heat down to low, add the tomato paste and cook about 15 minutes longer.
I usually add a little salt and pepper as I cook, then season again to taste when the soup is finished.
