Ingredients

Units Scale

Meat

      • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef

Vegetables & Aromatics

      • 1 small onion (chopped)
      • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
      • 1 medium head cabbage (cored and chopped)

Liquids

      • 1 (28-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes (undrained)
      • 3 cups vegetable juice (like V8)
      • 3 cups beef broth

Grains

      • 1 cup rice

Seasonings

    • Salt (to taste)
    • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef and onion: In a large stock pot or very large dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Once it starts to brown, add the chopped onion and cook until the beef is no longer pink. Drain the grease away.
  2. Add garlic and liquids: Return the meat and onion to the pot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook about 1 minute. Add the undrained tomatoes, vegetable juice, and beef broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
  3. Incorporate rice and cabbage: Stir in the rice, reduce the heat to a simmer, and add the cabbage. Mix everything together thoroughly.
  4. Cook until tender: Cook the soup covered for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the rice is fully cooked.
  5. Season and finish: Generously add salt and pepper to taste. Add additional vegetable juice if you’d like a thinner soup. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef for a lighter option.
  • Brown rice or quinoa may be used instead of white rice, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This soup freezes well. Freeze in individual portions for easy meals later.
