Ingredients
Soup:
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20

- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning herbs
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cups coarsely chopped green cabbage
- 1 carrot peeled and diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 4 cups beef broth low-sodium

Notes
- Finding the best head of cabbage for soup is not difficult. I look for a firm cabbage that is heavy for its size with tightly packed crisp leaves. The leaves should not be yellow, wilted, blemished, or loose. It should not feel squishy when gently squeezed. Make sure there are no bruises or soft spots. It should be a nice, solid ball. A healthy stem will be dry and not shriveled up without cracks or mold. If there are any strange odors or sliminess, do not buy it.
- Browning the beef is optional. But if you aren’t going to, use lean ground beef so the soup is not too greasy.
- Also, remember that not browning the beef will cause it to lose a lot of flavor. Searing the meat caramelizes it, locks in the juices, and makes a delicious crust that adds depth to the taste.
- Not slicing the cabbage until ready to use can keep it fresh for up to two months.
- Also, do not wash the cabbage; keep it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator's crisper drawer.
- Be sure to rinse the rice properly so it does not clump while cooking.
- For a lighter soup, leave out the rice, which will still be delicious.
