Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 4 cups coarsely chopped green cabbage
  • 2 carrots, peeled, quartered, and sliced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 3 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned (about 4-5 minutes).
  2. Add the onion and garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  3. Stir in the cabbage, carrots, tomato sauce, beef broth, and rice.
  4. Add the bay leaf and brown sugar. Season again with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, or until rice is tender.
  6. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
  • Cook rice separately to avoid mushiness in leftovers.
  • This soup freezes well for up to 3 months.
