Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1/2 head cabbage, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the uncooked white rice, shredded cabbage, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the cabbage is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a stovetop version, follow the instructions above.
  • For a slow cooker version, brown the beef and sauté the onion and garlic on the stovetop. Transfer to a slow cooker, add the remaining ingredients, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • This soup freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring to airtight containers or freezer bags. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • To ensure the rice doesn’t get mushy, you can cook it separately and add it to individual bowls when serving, or add it during the last 15 minutes of simmering.
