Ground Beef and Cabbage Soup
Description
The recipe starts by heating avocado oil and sautéing aromatic vegetables — onion, carrots, and garlic — until just softened. Ground beef is then browned in the same pot, adding rich flavor. Chopped tomatoes and chicken or beef broth are combined with Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Finally, chopped cabbage is added and simmered until wilted and tender, allowing flavors to meld. The soup offers a chunky texture with meat and vegetables suspended in a savory broth.
This dish is served hot, making it suitable as a stand-alone meal or with crusty bread. It’s a straightforward, hearty soup that balances freshness from cabbage and carrots with richness from beef and herbs.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 yellow onion chopped, medium
- 3 carrot chopped, large
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 tomato chopped, large ripe
- 4 cups chicken broth or beef broth
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp black pepper to taste
- salt sea salt, to taste
- 1 green cabbage chopped (about 6 - 8 cups, large head
Instructions
- Add the avocado oil to a large thick-bottomed pot (I use a Dutch oven) and heat to medium-high.
- Add the chopped onion, carrots and garlic. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Scoot the vegetables off to one side of the pot and add the ground beef. Allow it to brown for 3 minutes without touching it. Flip and brown for another 2 to 3 minutes. Break up the meat into smaller pieces using a spatula and stir it into the vegetables.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Stir well, cover, and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has wilted, about 30 minutes.
- Taste the soup for flavor and add sea salt to taste.
- Serve and enjoy!
