Deconstructed Cabbage Roll Soup

During the COVID stay-in-place order, I tried to cook with what I had on hand. This deconstructed Cabbage Roll Soup used up quite a few of the ingredients I had.

Deconstructed Cabbage Roll Soup

1 Tbs olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

1 lb lean ground beef

1 small green cabbage, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 cans low-sodium chicken broth

1 can (14.5 oz) chopped tomatoes

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

2 bay leaves

1 cup cooked rice

Heat olive oil and saute onion until soft. Add ground beef and brown. Add rest of ingredients except rice.

Cook on high until boiling then reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes then add cooked rice. Cook for additional 10 minutes. Season with salt & pepper.

Cool soup then place in refrigerator. Skim the fat layer on top and discard. Reheat and serve.
