Print Recipe

A warm and filling soup featuring ground beef, cabbage, and vegetables in a light beef broth, perfect for cold days or busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
  3. Stir in the beef broth, chopped cabbage, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and the can of diced tomatoes with their juices.
  4. Season with dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and let the soup simmer for 30–40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

This soup freezes well and can be stored for up to 3 months. For a thicker soup, mash some cabbage into the broth or add cooked grains like barley or pasta.
