Cabbage and Meatball Soup is a hearty and healthy dish that combines flavorful meatballs with nutritious vegetables in a savory broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1/2 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
  • 6 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, uncooked rice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Add the diced carrot and chopped cabbage to the pot with the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Pour in the broth and diced tomatoes, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Carefully add the meatballs to the boiling soup. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the rice is tender.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño to the soup.
  • Substitute quinoa or barley for the rice for a different texture and flavor.
