Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chopped cabbage
- 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes with juices
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2/3 cup uncooked white rice (such as jasmine)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- In a large soup pot, cook the ground beef and onion over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the garlic to the pot and cook for about 1 minute.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with their juices, beef broth, water, paprika, Italian seasoning, and rice.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once it starts to boil, stir well, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar.
- Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes:
- Leftovers may thicken as the rice absorbs more liquid. Add additional beef broth when reheating to reach the desired consistency.
