Unstuffed Cabbage Soup
Unstuffed Cabbage Soup is American home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre and the soup. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1.25 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 6 cups green cabbage
- 2 carrots
- 3/4 cup long-grain white rice
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high and brown the ground beef, then drain off excess fat.
- Add the onion, garlic, and carrots and cook 5 minutes, then stir in the chopped cabbage until it begins to wilt.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, smoked paprika, bay leaf, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil.
- Stir in the rice, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the rice and cabbage are tender, about 25 minutes.
- Discard the bay leaf and adjust the seasoning before serving.
