Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups chopped cabbage
  • 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes with juices
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2/3 cup uncooked white rice (I used jasmine)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the ground beef and onion to a large soup pot and cook it over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned (about 8 minutes). If there's a lot of excess fat, spoon most of it out.
  • Stir in the garlic, followed by the cabbage, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, broth, water, paprika, Italian seasoning, and rice.
  • Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once it's just started to boil, give it a good stir, then reduce the heat and cover the pot with the lid slightly open. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Stir it occasionally to make sure the rice isn't sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Season soup with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You may need to add more beef broth to leftovers as the rice tends to soak liquid up.
