Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 medium head, chopped Green cabbage
• 2 medium, peeled and sliced Carrots
• 2 sliced Celery stalks
• 1 14-ounce can Diced tomatoes
• 6 cups Beef broth
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 3

Add the chopped cabbage, carrots, and celery to the pot. Stir everything together and let the vegetables cook for 5 minutes, softening slightly.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, bay leaf, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the cabbage and carrots are tender.

Step 6

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
