Savory Ground Beef and Cabbage Delight

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 4 cups beef broth (or chicken broth)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

 

  1. Brown the Ground Beef
    • In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the Cabbage and Carrots
    • Stir in the chopped cabbage and diced carrot, cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Simmer the Soup
    • Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes.
  4. Add the Rice
    • Stir in the uncooked rice and let the soup simmer for an additional 20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Adjust Seasonings
    • Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Worcestershire sauce if desired. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  6. Garnish and Serve
    • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor, if desired.
