Comfort Food at Its Finest: Beef and Cabbage Soup

One little spoonful of paprika

thyme, dry, 1/4 teaspoon

Dried oregano, half a teaspoon

a few of bay tree leaves

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Worcestershire sauce, measuring one tablespoon

2 tablespoons of soy sauce (or 1 tablespoon of fish sauce)

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

What to do:

Sear the meat until it takes on a browned color. To start, put a large saucepan over medium heat. In a skillet, brown the minced beef by breaking it into little pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Take off most of the fat, but save a little to sauté the veggies in.

For the cooked vegetables, begin by adding the chopped carrots, garlic, and onions to the saucepan. After around 5 to 7 minutes of cooking, the onions should be translucent and the carrots slightly softened.

Making Flavor: Toss in the paprika, tomato paste, thyme, oregano, and bay leaves. Allow the spices to release their aroma by cooking for a further two minutes.

Pour in the liquid. Along with the chopped tomatoes and beef broth, add the tomatoes' liquid. Thoroughly combine all of the ingredients.

Slowly simmer the soup. Bring the ingredients to a gentle boil, then reduce heat. Mix the rice and chopped cabbage well to distribute the ingredients equally. Cover and simmer the soup for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the cabbage is tender.

Give it a tasty twist. Include the fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar. These components elevate the soup's flavor profile by adding depth and a hint of savory. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Finally, savor: Ladle the soup into individual bowls, distributing the rice, veggies, and meat evenly among them. To make it a complete meal, serve it hot and top it with some crisp bread.
