Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups about ¼ large head shredded cabbage
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes fire roasted is a nice choice!
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a soup pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as you go with a spoon until the meat is browned, crumbly, and cooked through.
  • Add the onion and garlic and stir for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the cabbage and stir for 5 minutes to soften the veggies.
  • Add the tomatoes, stock, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Reduce the heat slightly and allow the soup to come to a simmer.
  • Simmer the cabbage roll soup uncovered for 15 minutes until the cabbage is soft. Stir a time or two during this time.
  • Taste the soup for seasoning; add more salt to your preference. EAT.

Notes

This keeps really well in the fridge for at least a week and as long as you need in the freezer.
Beef stock is a great choice here, but chicken or veggie stock are fine too if that's what you have on hand.
This is a great soup to try out wild game such as ground venison or ground elk. Check out the info in the post for more notes on flavor!
