1 lb. ground beef
1 c. diced onion
1 c. sliced celery
1 c. sliced carrots
2 cloves minced garlic
1 can (16 oz.) tomatoes
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (15 oz.) kidney beans, drained
2 c. water
5 tsp. beef bouillon grain
1 tbsp. parsley flakes
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. per basil
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 c. shredded cabbage
1/2 c. pasta
Parmesan cheese

Brown beef and drain. Add the rest of the ingredients, except cabbage and pasta. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Add cabbage and simmer 1 hour.

One half hour before serving, add the pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese as you are serving. My cheese bread recipe is "great" with this soup.
