📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.

3. In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.

4. Add the chopped cabbage to the pot and stir well to combine.

5. Return the cooked beef to the pot, then add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, and tomato paste. Stir well.

6. Season the soup with dried thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the bay leaf to the pot.

7. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley (if desired). Serve hot and enjoy!
