Cabbage and Beef Soup
My Cabbage and Beef Soup made in the Instant Pot or slow cooker is one of the easiest rustic soups I make in my home. I always have ground beef in the fridge or freezer, and I love how inexpensive and filling cabbage is. It only takes a couple minutes to put together and keeps in the fridge very well.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 100% grass fed
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 6 cups chopped cabbage 1 small head, cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes I like fire roasted canned tomatoes
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes with medium green chilis
- 3-4 cups beef broth
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- sour cream optional for topping
Instructions
- In an Instant pot on sauté mode or a large skillet, add avocado oil and brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
- Place cabbage, onion, and bell pepper in Instant Pot or slow cooker. Add the cooked ground beef if using a slow cooker.
- Add remaining ingredients: tomatoes, broth, garlic, and seasonings.
- Put lid on, set the valve to seal. Cook on manual pressure (high) for 30 minutes. Allow to release pressure naturally or for at least 10 minutes. Slow cooker version: Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
