Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Slotted Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 sweet onion chopped
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 4 stalks celery chopped
  • 8 cups Beef Stock
  • 1 teaspoon each thyme and oregano
  • 28 ounce can Diced Tomatoes with the juice
  • 1 small head red cabbage about 5 cups chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef to the pot, and cook for 10 minutes or so, breaking up the beef pieces with a wooden spoon. When all the pink has been cooked from the beef, remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
  • To the same pot, add the onion and sauté for 6 or 7 minutes until translucent. Toss in the carrots and celery and cook for 5 minutes longer.
  • Add the beef stock, thyme, oregano, tomatoes, red cabbage, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir, and add the cooked beef back into the pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  • Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasonings as needed - adding more salt, black pepper, or balsamic vinegar to taste! Serve with fresh cracked pepper and enjoy.
