How to prepare cabbage soup with ground meat
- Shred the cabbage finely and rub with 1 teaspoon of salt until it softens slightly.
- In hot oil, saute the finely chopped onion just until it softens a bit. Add the carrot grated on the large holes and continue sauteing until the carrot softens too (about 10 minutes), being careful not to brown the vegetables.
- Add the ground meat and fry over medium heat (stirring frequently to break it up) until it changes color throughout.
- Remove the pot from heat and add the paprika, caraway, peppercorns, crushed garlic, and hot pepper cut into a few large pieces. Mix everything well.
- Add the cabbage and stir again.
- Add 2 L of water, thyme, and some salt. Bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and cube the potatoes. Add to the soup and cook for another 20 minutes. After this time, check that both the cabbage and potatoes are cooked. Adjust salt to taste.
