Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the beef and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the spices coat the beef mixture evenly.
Add the cole slaw mix to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, to soften the cabbage and carrots slightly.
Pour in the beef broth, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed (add more salt, pepper, or vinegar depending on your preference).
Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
