Purple Cabbage & Ground Beef Soup: A Warm Meal to Ground Yourself This Winter

There’s something sacred about cooking with intuition. In my kitchen, measurements are suggestions of the heart, and flavors are guided by the wisdom of the ancestors.

Today, I want to share one of my favorite womb-nourishing recipes: Purple Cabbage and Ground Beef Soup. This isn’t just soup—it’s a ritual, a celebration of real, live foods that honor your body, your womb, and your soul.

Why This Soup Is Winter's Womb-Warming Elixir

This soup isn’t just nourishing—it’s grounding, perfect for winter when our bodies naturally crave warmth, comfort, and stability. Each ingredient works in harmony to root you in your body and honor your womb:

• Red/Purple Cabbage: Rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, cabbage supports estrogen metabolism and healthy circulation in the pelvic region. It’s grounding, detoxifying, and a gentle reminder to honor the sacred cycle of your womb.

• Lean Ground Beef: A source of iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy, hormonal balance, and vitality for your reproductive system. Meat is medicine when sourced mindfully and cooked with intention.

• Rainbow Peppers: Full of vitamin C and carotenoids, these colorful beauties support hormone regulation and immune strength, while bringing vibrancy and joy to your plate.

• Garlic & Onion: Both are anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and rich in sulfur compounds that promote detoxification—perfect allies for womb health.

• Red Wine: In small amounts, red wine enhances circulation, adds depth, and invites pleasure into the act of cooking—because nourishing your womb is also about delight.

• Herbs & Spices: Flaxseed, cilantro, paprika, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves not only awaken the senses but also support digestion, circulation, and inflammation reduction.

How to Make It

Step 1: The Sacred Sauté

Begin by heating your favorite pan. Allow a bit of oil to shimmer before adding your purple onion and rainbow peppers. Season them with love—this is your first ritual. Move them around the pan, breathe in the aroma, and season until the ancestors tell you to stop.

Step 2: Grounded Energy

Add your lean ground beef to the pan and brown it with intention. Sprinkle in flaxseed, hamburger seasoning, cilantro, paprika, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Invite your intuition to guide how much you add. This is the moment to infuse your soup with your energy, your intention, and your love.

Step 3: Bringing the Purple Power Together

Add chopped purple cabbage to the pan and pour in vegetable broth, letting it kiss the meat and vegetables. Splash in some red wine, add crushed garlic, and drop in bay leaves. Cover, lower the heat, and let it simmer. Stir occasionally while visualizing your womb glowing and expanding with each rotation of the spoon.

Step 4: Taste and Trust

Taste your soup. Add more seasoning if your body—or the ancestors—whisper for it. There are no rules here. Every stir, every sprinkle, every splash is medicine for your womb and your soul.

Step 5: Serve with Intention

Pour the soup into your favorite bowl. Sit, breathe, and savor each bite. Feel the warmth, the grounding, the vitality coursing through your body. This is soul food reclaimed.

Womb-Led Wisdom While You Eat

• Take your time—eat slowly, chew consciously, and connect with your womb with gratitude.

• Notice how the flavors awaken not just your taste buds but your energy.

• Remember: nourishing your womb is as much about intention as it is about ingredients.

This Purple Cabbage and Ground Beef Soup isn’t just a meal—it’s a celebration of life, rhythm, and the sacred feminine within you.
