Rochelle's Cabbage Soup

The first time I ate this soup was at the family beach house 15 years ago. It is the perfect soup for those cold days. Jason's grandma usually makes a double batch because she says it tastes even better the second day.

Ingredients:

1# ground beef

2 Tbs. butter

1 small onion (or to taste)

1/2 stalk celery (diced)

1 can stewed tomatoes

2 C. water

1 can kidney beans

1 tsp. ea. salt, pepper, chili powder (or to taste) we like a lot of chili pdr.

1/2 head cabbage (shredded)

Brown meat (drain grease), add butter (this is optional too), saute, add other ingredients and cook 1/2 hour, then add cabbage, cook until done.
