This hearty Cabbage Soup with Ground Beef is a comforting, flavor-packed one-pot meal loaded with tender vegetables, savory beef, and rich tomato broth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 5 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano (dried)
  • sea salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 medium cabbage (chopped into bite size rectangles, about 6 cups)
  • 2 medium carrots (peeled and diced)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup rice (uncooked basmati or jasmine rice OR 23 cups cauliflower rice)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or to taste)
  • 1/4 cup parsley (washed and finely chopped for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook, breaking up the meat, until beef is browned and onions are soft. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Stir in paprika and oregano, cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add tomato paste and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, to deepen flavor.
  3. Add cabbage, carrots, broth, water, and diced tomatoes.
  4. If using white rice: Stir it in now and simmer 25–30 minutes, until rice and vegetables are tender. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer on low heat. If using cauliflower rice: Simmer soup 20–25 minutes without it, until vegetables are tender. Stir cauliflower rice in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  5. Add lemon juice, taste, and adjust salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
