A slow-cooker beef and cabbage soup that yields 10 servings and 211 calories per serving combines ground beef, shredded cabbage, red kidney beans, and tomato sauce for a weeknight meal that requires 10 minutes of prep and about four hours of cooking on high. 
The recipe calls for browning 1 pound of ground beef with half a large chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until the beef is crumbly and the onion is translucent. The fat is then drained. 
The browned beef mixture is transferred to a slow cooker, where 5 cups of shredded cabbage, two 16-ounce cans of drained red kidney beans, 24 ounces of tomato sauce, 2 cups of water, 4 beef bouillon cubes, 1½ teaspoons of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper are added and stirred to combine. 
The covered slow cooker cooks the soup on Low for 6 to 8 hours or on High for 4 hours, with occasional stirring. Total time from start to finish is listed at 4 hours 15 minutes, based on the high-heat option.
