Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 large head cabbage, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked rice (optional)
  • to taste fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients and chop the onion, garlic, and cabbage.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until they soften and become fragrant, around 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the pot, stirring until fully cooked and browned evenly.
  3. Stir in the chopped cabbage, allowing it to wilt slightly.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, and tomato paste. Stir well.
  5. Sprinkle in the paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes until cabbage is tender.
  6. If using rice, stir it in during the last few minutes of cooking.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a pot over medium heat, adding broth or water if necessary.
