2 medium or 1 large can unseasoned tomatoes
3 Tbsp. tomato paste

1
In 3-quarts of water, part of which is one can of beef bouillon, boil bones and soup meat 30 to 40 minutes, skimming occasionally.

Meanwhile, in another pot, soften onion in butter (don't brown); add crushed garlic and shredded cabbage.
