Meatball Soup with Cabbage

I discovered this meatball soup with cabbage a few years ago from a Mexican place and I have been searching for the right combinations. I think I have it almost right with this one. Very hearty and filling.

Meatball Soup With Cabbage Reviews

• I used only beef. I did not have cubes but I did have soup powder. I did not add fresh oregano. I didnt have mushroom salt. (not sure what that even is) Where I live we can only get certain items seasonally. BUT THIS WAS AMAZING and hearty and delicious My daughter even asked for it to be remade as her special birthday dinner.
