Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound lean 10% or leaner ground beef
  • 1 onion, large chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound green cabbage cored and roughly chopped OR 16 oz. shredded cabbage (coleslaw mix)
  • 2 14.5- ounce cans stewed tomatoes pulsed in a blender so they're broken down but not completely smooth
  • 1 16- ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 quart 2 cans beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon parsley dried
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2-3 cups rice hot, cooked (leftover rice works great)

Instructions

  • If you're not using leftover rice, prepare the rice.
  • In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring frequently. When the beef is about halfway cooked, add the onion, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper and continue cooking until the beef is cooked through.
  • Add the spinach and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until the cabbage begins to soften. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, parsley, and vinegar and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the cabbage is tender. Season to taste.
  • To serve, add a scoop of hot rice to each bowl and then top with the soup.

Notes

    • Store cooled soup in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 3-4 days for best results.
    • Freeze in individual portions for an easy lunch or dinner on busy days.
