Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium head green cabbage, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 0.5 cup white rice, uncooked
- 6 cups beef broth
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 bay leaf
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and ground pork to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat as needed.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the chopped cabbage, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the uncooked white rice to the pot, followed by the beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.
Season the soup with dried thyme, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and add a bay leaf.
Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the flavors meld together.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard it.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the stuffed cabbage soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
