Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 small head of cabbage, chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown, depending on preference)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients for a smoother cooking process.
  2. Dice the onion, garlic, green bell pepper, and carrot.
  3. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, removing the core first.
  4. Measure out the rice and set it aside.
  5. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  6. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
  7. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if using beef.
  8. Add the diced green bell pepper and carrot, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
  9. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, and beef broth.
  10. Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well.
  11. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  12. After 10 minutes, add the chopped cabbage and uncooked rice, stirring to submerge them in the liquid.
  13. Cover and let simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes (add 10-15 minutes if using brown rice), stirring occasionally.
  14. Check the rice for doneness; it should be tender but not mushy. Adjust the consistency with more broth or water if needed.
  15. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  16. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
  17. Ladle into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
  18. Let leftovers cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  19. Reheat on the stove over medium heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with lentils or mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like corn or peas for extra nutrition.
