This Cabbage Roll Soup is a hearty, nutritious soup that is just as delicious as classic cabbage roll ups, without all the work!
Heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium high heat in a large pot. Add in ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain beef to remove excess grease.
Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the pot and add in the cabbage, onion and carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables start to get a little tender. Add in garlic, paprika and Italian seasoning and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in bay leaves, rice, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, roasted tomatoes and crushed tomatoes. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and red wine vinegar. Discard bay leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with crusty bread: Goes great with some crusty bread like a french baguette to soak up the extra juices. For a creamy soup: Add a dollop of sour cream to the top of your bowl.
