Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced finely)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 2 medium carrots (quartered and sliced)
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 3 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup white rice (uncooked)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 tbsp. light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley

Method
 

  1. Warm the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until it turns brown and is no longer pink.
  2. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook, stirring often, until the onions soften and become translucent.
  3. Pour in the chopped cabbage, sliced carrots, tomato sauce, beef broth, uncooked rice, bay leaf, and brown sugar. Stir everything together until well combined.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup gently simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Take out the bay leaf, sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley on top, and serve the soup hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, use less broth or add more rice. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
