CROCK POT AMISH CABBAGE PATCH SOUP
Amish cabbage patch soup made in the crock pot is one of my favorites and always goes over big with family and friends. This soup will keep for several days in the refrigerator. The recipe makes a lot but it won’t last long. One bowl of this is never enough in my family.
Amish Cabbage Patch Soup Ingredients Needed:
Ground beef
Onion
Celery
Green Bell Pepper
Can kidney beans
Cabbage
Beef broth
Can of Diced Tomatoes
Salt
Black pepper
Chili powder
Cumin
Garlic powder
This is a very versatile soup and full of delicious ingredients. You could easily make this with ground turkey too. We cook with ground turkey quite often and love it in soup. If you are not a celery fan, simply leave it out. This soup freezes well too. Add our Fried Cornbread to this soup for a wonderful meal!
“I made this for a birthday lunch at work today. Everyone raved about it. We topped it with shredded cheese and sour cream along with Broccoli cheese muffins. Heavenly! I almost forgot, I didn’t make it in a crock pot but in a dutch oven.” – Noel
“This is one of my favorite soup recipes. It’s super easy to make and it’s actually very low calorie, especially if you use a lean ground turkey. I love your recipes!’ – Jennifer

We really liked this soup and it will enter the regular rotation now. I made two changes, I used Italian Ground turkey instead of ground beef and I cut the chili powder to 1 tsp because I don’t like things too spicy. Thank you for this recipe, a family favorite now.
I made the Amish Cabbage Patch Soup today, and it’s a keeper! I had all the ingredients on hand, and it was easy to make in a Dutch oven on my stovetop. Since it doesn’t make a huge amount, it’s ideal when cooking for just one or two. I will add this to my recipe box of favorites!
About the third time I made that soup, when I cut into the cabbage I had bought at Publix, there were worms everywhere! I haven’t cut open a cabbage since then. Now I make it without cabbage, with a diced potato instead, and it’s still my favorite soup!
Is there anyway to make this without browning the ground beef before
I can’t advise. I have never put raw ground beef in a crock pot.
You can do it but you’ll have to skim off all the fat. Make easy work out of it by refrigerating til fat solidifies (tastes better the second day anyway, imo) or adding a bunch of ice cubes or ice puck (I use 2 cups water frozen in a tupperware bowl/or to go container) while its warm and removing the hard pieces of cold fat. The ice melting in the hot soup will add water to it, so you’ll need to add a little extra beef base/bouillon.
I have made this several times. It is so good. This time though I was thinking of adding frozen mix veges. If I do at what point should I add them to the crockpot, and should I use more soup or broth so it doesn’t get to thick and dried out.
Thanks Kelli

Absolutely! Sounds delicious.
