Recipe type: Soup
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot or 7-8 baby carrots, finely grated
  • 3 large cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 29 ounce can crushed tomatoes with basil (if using regular crushed tomatoes add ½ tsp basil)
  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth or stock
  • 2-3 cups water
  • ½ cup raw rice
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • 4 cups chopped cabbage
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • pinch of baking soda (about a ⅛ tsp)
  • More water or broth if needed
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, saute onion, carrot and garlic for two minutes, add ground beef and salt and pepper, cook until meat is no longer pink.
  2. Add crushed tomatoes, broth or stock and water.
  3. Stir in Italian seasoning, and chili powder Bring to a boil and then add rice. Simmer for 20 minutes uncovered. Add cabbage, brown sugar and baking soda...also add more liquid at this point if soup is getting too thick as the rice absorbs moisture. Taste it to see if you need to add plain water or broth...if the flavor is really strong add water instead of broth.
  4. Cover and cook until cabbage is tender. Add more salt and pepper if necessary and serve with crackers or rolls.
