Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 28 oz tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 4 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Heat and Cook Beef and Onions: In a stock pot over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the lean ground beef and finely chopped onion, breaking up the beef with a spoon. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked and the onions have softened and become translucent.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the diced carrots, chopped cabbage, tomato sauce, uncooked white rice, low sodium beef broth, bay leaf, light brown sugar, salt, and Italian seasoning. Stir everything thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  5. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately for a delicious, comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a lower-carb version, substitute white rice with cauliflower rice but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding a bit more salt or Italian seasoning if desired.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Remove the bay leaf before serving to avoid an overpowering taste.
