Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground pork
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 head green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup white rice, uncooked

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
  4. Add the sliced cabbage, brown sugar, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in the uncooked white rice. Cover and continue to simmer for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the cabbage is soft.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use half beef broth and half chicken broth.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, stir in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve this polish comfort food hot with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
