There have been two meetings that come to mind as of this writing. April 20, when the President charged them all with finding 100 million dollars in budget cuts may have been their first meeting. There was also a weekend retreat meeting at Blair House six months into the President's first term.
It depends on what you mean by meeting with his cabinet. If you mean holding a meeting of the entire cabinet, news reports indicate that President Obama has only held a handful of meetings with all the members (on average, about three a year). But he meets regularly and/or communicates frequently, with individual cabinet members.
For example, it has been reported that Mr. Obama has held meetings with his Secretary of Defense about 20 times, and his Secretary of State at least 16 times (possibly more-- some information about presidential meetings is classified). And it should be noted that holding frequent cabinet meetings has been a common practice for some presidents (President Reagan, for example) but not every president has done so.
The president meets with his cabinet whenever he calls a meeting. The frequency of these meetings varies with the president. President Obama rarely called a meeting of his entire cabinet.
