Ingredients

  • 1 lb vegan ground beef or pkg vegan sausage, sliced "Beef": Recommend "Beyond Beef" or "Impossible Plant-Based Beef. "Sausage": "Beyond Sausage" or "Field Roast Breakfast Sausage, Apple & Maple, Plant-Based"- SEE BELOW
  • 1 14.5 oz can Fire-Roasted Tomatoes
  • 8 oz pasta sauce Recommend my "Best Pasta Sauce"- SEE BELOW
  • 4 tsp No-Beef Bouillon Recommend "RC Fine Foods Beef Flavor Base" or "Better Than Bouillon No Beef Base" - SEE BELOW
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced or shredded
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 6 cups veggie stock Recommend "Kitchen Basics Unsalted Vegetable Stock"
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 small/medium head cabbage, cored and roughly chopped Can use red or green cabbage

Instructions

  • Crumble the vegan ground beef or sliced vegan sausage into a large pot and saute until lightly browned. Drain any fat.
  • Add the tomatoes, pasta sauce, no-beef bouillon, carrots, onion, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir until combined. Pour in 4 cups of stock and bring to a slow boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes over low heat.
  • Pour in the remaining 2 cups of stock and return to slow boil. Add garlic and cabbage. Simmer uncovered for 20-25 more minutes or until cabbage is tender.
  • Ladle into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

If you use red cabbage, the soup will take on a reddish hue; with green cabbage it will appear more golden (from the veggie stock).    I used red cabbage in my picture (it is slightly more beneficial than green cabbage and tastes a bit sweeter).  
BEST PASTA SAUCE:  Since it's winter, substitute a can of Fire Roasted Tomatoes for the fresh ones.
