Directions

Step 1: Brown the Beef

  1. In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned.
  2. Drain excess fat and set beef aside.

Step 2: Sauté Vegetables

  1. In the same pot, sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5–6 minutes.

Step 3: Add Cabbage & Tomatoes

  1. Stir in chopped cabbage, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes. Mix well to combine.

Step 4: Add Broth & Seasonings

  1. Pour in the beef broth and add salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
  2. Return the browned ground beef to the pot.

Step 5: Simmer the Soup

  1. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
  2. Simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the cabbage and carrots are tender.
  3. If using rice, add it during the last 10 minutes of cooking to allow it to soften.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  2. Ladle soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Variations & Tips

  • Rice or No Rice: For a lower-carb option, skip the rice.
  • Extra Veggies: Add zucchini, green beans, or bell peppers for added nutrition.
  • Slow Cooker Version: Brown the beef and sauté the veggies, then transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6–8 hours.
  • Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; flavors improve overnight.
