GROUND BEEF AND CABBAGE SOUP

We made this this last week and it was sooooo delicious!  We used bone broth instead of just chicken or beef broth just to pump up the protein a little. We also tripled it and added an extra pound of ground beef.  It was perfect.  With this cold rainy weather soup hit the spot and with Chad being a little under the weather it was just right.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 large carrots, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth or beef broth
  • 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, to taste
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 large head green cabbage, chopped (about 6 – 8 cups)

Instructions

  1. Add the avocado oil to a large thick-bottomed pot and heat to medium-high.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots and garlic. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Scoot the vegetables off to one side of the pot and add the ground beef. Allow it to brown for 3 minutes without touching it. Flip and brown for another 2 to 3 minutes. Break up the meat into smaller pieces using a spatula and stir it into the vegetables.
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Stir well, cover, and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has wilted, about 30 minutes.
  5. Taste the soup for flavor and add sea salt to taste.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
