  • 1 large onion, finely chopped (yellow, white, or red)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or garlic flakes/powder/paste)
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (or chicken, turkey, plant-based alternative)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 14 oz can chopped tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes or tomato puree)
  • 6 cups shredded cabbage (Napa, Savoy, or other types)
  • 1 tsp paprika (smoked paprika, cayenne, or chipotle as alternatives)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (or garlic flakes)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (or onion flakes)
  • 1/2 tsp oregano (or thyme or basil)
  • 1/2 tsp thyme (or rosemary)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5 cups beef broth (or vegetable or chicken broth)

Garnish

  • Chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil and Sauté Onion: Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and the finely chopped onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add Garlic and Ground Beef: Add the minced garlic, ground beef, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Break apart the beef with a spoon or spatula.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Continue cooking the beef mixture for 7-8 minutes until it is fully browned and no longer pink.
  4. Add Tomatoes and Cabbage: Stir in the chopped tomatoes and the shredded cabbage, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Incorporate Spices and Bay Leaf: Add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and the bay leaf. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
  6. Pour in Broth: Add the 5 cups of beef broth into the pot and stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  7. Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the soup cook for about 25 minutes, or until the cabbage is fully tender and cooked through.
  8. Season and Garnish: Taste and adjust salt and black pepper as desired. Remove the bay leaf, then garnish the soup with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground chicken, turkey, or plant-based alternatives for different dietary needs.
  • Use different types of cabbage like Napa or Savoy to vary texture and flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute beef broth with vegetable broth and replace ground beef with plant-based alternative.
  • Adjust the spices (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder) to suit your preferred flavor profile.
  • The soup freezes well for up to 2 months; thaw and reheat gently before serving.
