Soup Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 cups shredded cabbage
  • 15 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5 cups beef broth

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  3. Brown the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the pot, seasoning with salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and thyme. Cook until the meat is thoroughly browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  4. Add tomatoes and cabbage: Stir in the diced tomatoes and the shredded cabbage, mixing all ingredients well together.
  5. Simmer the soup: Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes until the cabbage is tender and flavors meld.
  6. Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf and serve warm. Optionally, top with grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
