Step-by-Step Instructions
Sauté the Onions and Garlic
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Cook the Ground Beef
Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Brown the beef evenly, then drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add Vegetables
Stir in the shredded cabbage, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to wilt slightly.
Combine Liquids and Seasonings
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice) and beef broth. Stir in the oregano, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer
Let the soup simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the cabbage and vegetables are tender. If using optional add-ins like potatoes, add them during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or spices as needed. For extra richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream or sour cream just before serving (optional).
Serve Hot
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve alongside crusty bread or buttery crackers for dipping.
