Cabbage roll soup is a hearty, comforting meal that’s perfect for chilly days. It’s like traditional stuffed cabbage rolls but in an easier, no-roll form! Here’s how you can make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (or ground turkey, chicken, or pork)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chopped cabbage (about half a medium head)
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup uncooked white rice (optional: substitute with brown rice or omit for low-carb)
- 4 cups beef broth (or chicken broth for a lighter version)
- 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (14 oz) can tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
