You know those days when you get home from work and you wonder what on earth to make for dinner? While rummaging through the fridge and pantry, I had everything to make this Stuffed Cabbage Soup. Stuffed cabbage often has a touch of cinnamon. I actually cut the cinnamon in half. You could also use ground chicken or turkey instead of the ground beef. This soup is really good, my husband LOVED it. It also freezes well. Cabbage has an impressive nutrient, which is rich in vitamin C, fiber, and vitamin K. Some research suggests that it may have health benefits that include supporting digestion and heart health, among others. Eat more cabbage!

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

4 garlic cloves, chopped

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (I used ¼ teaspoon)

3¾ cups beef consommé (from 3 [10 1/2-oz. each] cans)

3½ cups tomato sauce (from 2 [15-oz. each] cans)

6 cups green cabbage, chopped (from 1 small head)

2 medium carrots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)

Directions

1Cook the beef, onion, salt, and pepper in a small Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high, stirring often, until meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cinnamon, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.

2Stir in consommé and tomato sauce. Bring to a low boil over medium.

3 Stir in cabbage, carrots, rice, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and bay leaf. Return to a boil over medium.

Remove and discard bay leaf; stir in lemon juice and chopped fresh dill.
