Notes
- For an even richer broth, brown the ground beef thoroughly until a nice fond forms at the bottom of the pot before adding liquids.
- If you find your soup lacking depth, a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika can enhance the savory notes.
- Cook the soup until the cabbage is tender but still retains a slight bite; overcooking can make it mushy. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. When reheating from frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm gently on the stovetop. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically.
