Let’s get started!

Table of Contents

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground pork or turkey)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Soup

  1. Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Transfer to Slow Cooker: Transfer the browned beef and onion mixture to the slow cooker.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the minced garlic, chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, rice, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and bay leaves to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Cook the Soup

  1. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the cabbage is tender and the rice is cooked through.
  2. Serve: Remove the bay leaves before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Cook’s Notes and Tips

  • Ground Meat Options: You can use ground beef, pork, turkey, or a mix for this recipe. Each adds a unique flavor.
  • Rice: Long-grain rice works well, but you can also use brown rice—just note that it may take longer to cook.
  • Tomato Sauce: If you prefer a thicker soup, you can reduce the amount of broth or add an extra can of tomato sauce.

Variations

  • Low-Carb Version: Substitute the rice with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. Add it during the last hour of cooking.
  • Spicy Kick: Add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Vegetarian Option: Use vegetable broth and substitute the ground meat with a plant-based meat alternative or add extra vegetables like bell peppers and mushrooms.

Serving Suggestions

  • Crusty Bread: Serve with crusty bread for dipping into the rich broth.
  • Side Salad: Pair with a fresh green salad to balance the heartiness of the soup.
  • Dollop of Sour Cream: Add a dollop of sour cream on top for extra creaminess.

  1. If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at blog66behavior extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

  3. Для пластиковых браслетов на сайте проверь тип застежки и диапазон регулировки чтобы не оказалось что на небольшую руку они велики

  4. Силикон білезікке ?зын жазу керек болса енін де ескер тар жола?та ?ріптер тым ?са? болып кетеді

  6. A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at blog33probably continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.

  8. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at valzino maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  9. Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at ampleclove extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.

  10. Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at dawnmeadowtrading reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.

  11. Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at chordcircle reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.

  12. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at macrolush confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.

  13. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at softcrest continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

  14. More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at riverroutey kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.

  15. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at servoreach maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  16. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at ztbpm51m kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  17. Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at ultrareach continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.

  18. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at bridgebit extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.

  19. Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at dawnmeadowtrading only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  21. Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to blog66as maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.

  22. Speaking as someone who reads a lot on this topic this site has earned a high position in my source rankings, and a stop at softbay reinforced that ranking, the informal ranking of sources for a topic is something I maintain mentally and this site has moved into the upper portion of those rankings clearly.

  23. Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at pearlpath reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.

  24. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at rapidrunway fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.

  25. My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at graphflow extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

  26. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at nimbusnet maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  27. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at blog44generation extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.

  28. Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at blog44worker provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.

  30. If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at gladstoneblog confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.

  31. Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at blog33simply earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.

  32. Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at blog44hair reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.

  33. The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at velzaro kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.

  34. A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at softvalley continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

  35. Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at silkduneemporium reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.

  37. Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at ardenbeach reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.

  38. Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at cipherbeach continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.

  39. Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at devgrid produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

  40. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at covecanal produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

  41. Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at freshtrendarena kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.

  47. Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at ultraengine continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.

  48. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at microcloud extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.
