Easy Cabbage Soup Recipe
Description
This soup features ground beef browned with onions and garlic, creating a savory foundation. Chopped green cabbage, carrots, and celery add texture and mild sweetness. Canned diced tomatoes and tomato sauce enrich the broth, while beef broth supports the hearty flavor. Brown sugar is added to balance acidity and add subtle sweetness. Bay leaves and fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or cilantro provide aromatic notes.
The mixture is simmered for 30 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and flavors to meld. Removing the bay leaves before serving ensures clarity of taste. The resulting soup offers a thick, wholesome texture with tender vegetables and savory beef.
Served warm and topped optionally with sour cream, this soup functions well as a simple yet filling meal with mixed textures and a balance of savory and sweet elements from the vegetables and broth.
