Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Sirloin or Beef
- 1/2 head Shredded Cabbage feel free to use more as it shrinks significantly when cooked
- 1-2 tablespoons Butter
- 28 oz Diced Garlic Tomatoes e.g., Heinz
- 40 oz Beef Broth
Seasonings
- 1 oz. Taco Seasoning
- 1/2 bag Shredded Carrots
- 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a pan, cook the ground sirloin or beef with the minced garlic until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large pan (a wok is ideal due to cabbage's volume), melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the drained meat and the entire can of diced garlic tomatoes (do not drain) to a slow cooker or a large soup pot.
- Add the sautéed cabbage and carrots, beef broth, garlic, paprika, and cumin to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Season and Cook: Stir in the taco seasoning until well mixed.
- If using a slow cooker, set to low and cook for 2 hours or until the vegetables are soft. Then, switch to warm.
- If cooking in a stockpot, keep the heat low and simmer for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Notes
This recipe is fairly easy to change up to make your own. Feel free to add rinsed and drained black beans, a drained can of sweet corn, or even some green chilies for additional flavor.
- Cabbage will significantly reduce in size once cooked, so don't hesitate to use more than half a head if you prefer.
The slow cooker method is recommended for ease and convenience, but you can also cook this soup on the stove if you prefer. - For a quicker cooking time, set the slow cooker to high heat for 1 hour, then reduce to low or warm.
