Ingredients

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 TB olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 16 oz tomato sauce
  • ½ cup uncooked white rice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil to prepare for browning the beef.
  2. Brown the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Sauté vegetables: Add diced onion, diced carrots, and minced garlic to the browned beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
  4. Combine ingredients in slow cooker: Transfer the browned beef and sautéed vegetables into the slow cooker. Add chopped green cabbage, beef broth, tomato sauce, uncooked white rice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Cook the soup: Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours until the cabbage is tender and the rice is fully cooked.
  6. Final adjust and serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Stir and ladle into bowls to serve warm.

Notes

  • For a quicker cook, you can use pre-cooked rice added towards the last hour of cooking.
  • To make it lower in fat, use lean ground beef or ground turkey.
  • This soup freezes well; cool completely before storing in airtight containers.
  • Add a splash of vinegar or a teaspoon of sugar for extra depth in flavor if desired.
  • For added texture, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or green onions on top before serving.
