Cabbage soup with minced beef

Delicious, hearty and warming soup where cabbage and ground beef are the main ingredients. Ground beef and bacon add a good flavor and umami. As usual, soups and stews only taste better if they are allowed to rest for a day before we eat them. A piece of wholemeal bread is also good.
