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. Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at motherbloom 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.

  2. Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to motherbloom I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.

  6. Хотите учиться, не выходя из дома? онлайн курсы по английскому от YES Center подходят и взрослым, и детям. Современная платформа, продуманная программа и обратная связь от педагога делают обучение эффективным и комфортным. Старт групп каждый месяц.

  9. Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at brightnovahub kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.

  10. Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at brightnovahub kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.

  17. Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at primebazaarhub confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.

  18. I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at primebazaarhub added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.

  19. A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at dailyneedsstore maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.

  20. Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at dailyneedsstore continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.

  25. After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at agavebarley reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.

  26. Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at agavebarley maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  31. Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at jewelbrookmerchantgallery continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.

  32. A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at jewelbrookmerchantgallery maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.

  33. Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at professionalix only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  34. A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at professionalix maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.

  35. Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at dyleko reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.

  36. Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at dyleko earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.

  37. Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at directshoppinghub reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.

  38. I really like the calm tone here, it does not push anything on the reader, and after I went through directshoppinghub I felt the same way, just steady useful content laid out without drama, which is exactly what someone trying to learn something quickly needs to find rather than aggressive marketing.

  43. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at urgesnare kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

  44. Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at urgesnare extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.

  46. Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at ekomug kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.

  47. Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at ekomug only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.
