Cabbage Soup

November 16, 2024 by admin

- Brown the ground beef and sausage over medium heat in a large Dutch Oven or heavy stock pot. About halfway through the browning process, add the onions. Cook until the onions are soft and the meat is browned.

Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, marjoram, thyme, paprika, and bay leaves. Cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
Add the beef broth, brown sugar, Worcestershire Sauce, carrots, cabbage, tomato sauce, and fire-roasted tomatoes. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes or until the carrots and cabbage are tender. Remove the bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, or fresh basil.

You can substitute ground beef, ground chicken, ground pork sausage, ground turkey, Polish polska kielbasa, or Italian sausage.
For aesthetic purposes, peel the carrots and let that beautiful orange color shine through.
You can substitute oregano for the marjoram, but if you have never cooked with marjoram, you really should treat yourself. Marjoram is less pungent, milder, and sweeter, with a woodsy citrus aroma.
Chop your vegetables fairly small so that you can enjoy a variety of flavors in every spoonful.
Go light on the salt, as the beef broth and tomatoes are already salty.
