Ingredients

  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ pound lean ground pork or additional ground beef
  • ¾ cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 1 medium head cabbage chopped, core removed, about 8 cups
  • 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable juice such as V8
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot, brown the onion, garlic, pork, and beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in the chopped cabbage and let cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, V8 or vegetable juice, uncooked rice, paprika, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and let simmer until the rice is fully cooked, approximately 25-30 minutes.
  5. Remove bay leaf and serve.

Notes

  • This soup is thick and hearty, if you prefer a thinner soup, add more beef broth or water to reach desired consistency once the rice is cooked.
  • Stretch if even further add in some chopped carrots, celery, or potatoes.
  • If you don't have beef broth on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
  • Freeze any leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
