In a large pot, brown the ground beef on medium heat. Drain off excess fat and liquid.
Add the carrots, celery, onion and cabbage and continue to cook - stirring occassionally - until the onions are translucent and the vegetables are just beginning to turn tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until the cabbage is soft, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
Feel free to add diced potatoes for an even heartier soup.
Ground turkey can be substituted for ground beef if desired.
Adjust seasoning at the end—cabbage benefits from a generous pinch of salt.
Soup freezes well for up to 3 months in airtight containers.
