Ground Beef Cabbage Soup
Description
The soup begins by browning ground beef with chopped onion, seasoned with salt and pepper, to build a savory base. Tomato sauce, beef broth, cabbage chunks, sliced carrots, celery, and undrained diced tomatoes are then added. The mixture is brought to a boil, then simmered to soften the vegetables and meld the flavors.
The cabbage and carrots become tender while retaining some body, contributing mild sweetness and crunch. The broth is rich and slightly thickened by the tomato sauce, providing depth and a gentle acidity. The slow simmering gently develops flavor without overwhelming the individual ingredients.
This soup can be served as a filling lunch or light dinner, accompanied by bread or crackers. It offers a warm and balanced combination of meat and vegetables, with straightforward seasoning that highlights the core ingredients.
