Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium celery ribs, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 6 cups beef broth
- 15 ounces red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.
Once the oil is heated, add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary and set the beef aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the pot, followed by the beef broth. Stir to combine.
Return the browned ground beef to the pot, then add the kidney beans and cannellini beans. Stir well.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, salt, and black pepper. Simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
