Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Ground beef: Use 85/15 ground beef for a nice balance of flavor and richness.
  • Cabbage: Cut the cabbage into roughly 1-inch chunks so it cooks evenly and becomes tender without disappearing into the soup.
  • Diced tomatoes: Don’t drain them. Add the tomatoes along with their juices for extra flavor in the broth.
  • Vegetables: Try to slice the carrots and celery evenly so they finish cooking at about the same time.
  • Make ahead: This soup can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
  • Freezing: Let the soup cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container for 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • Serving: Serve hot on its own or with crusty bread, dinner rolls, or a simple green salad.
