Tuesoupday

16 degrees here today with wind chills is soup weather, don't you think?  This recipe was inspired by Laura's Lean Beef, though the "printer-friendly" recipe wasn't friendly to me. . . so I made it up!

Unstuffed Cabbage Soup

6 oz. Lean Ground Beef
1-2 oz. Turkey Italian Sausage Link (sweet)
1/4 cup Onion, diced
1 Garlic Clove, diced

2 cans Water
1 Low Sodium Beef Bouillon Cube
1 tsp. Oregano
