Hearty Cabbage & Beef Comfort Soup

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

• 4 cups Cabbage, chopped
• 6 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon Salt

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to let it burn.
3. Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.
4. Once the beef is cooked, add the sliced carrots, chopped cabbage, beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
6. Remove the bay leaves before serving. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
