i don't have anything...i'm sorry!!!

i do know, tho, that my dad makes beef-veggie soup, and that he puts in
cabbage and sometimes cans of tomatoes....good stuff.  is that the type of
stuff that you might be looing for?

well.. i had cabbage soup at big-boy before, and i
liked that. there was no meat in it..
i know it had cabbage, and probably either canned tomatoes or tomato
juice. probably onions too.. i am unsure of the spicing.
