  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey Choose ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Essential for flavor.
  • 4 cups beef broth Ensure it's halal-friendly.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse and chop the cabbage into small bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  2. Add the ground beef or turkey, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Brown the meat until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Toss in the chopped cabbage, cooked rice, broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and seasoning. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese, if desired.

Notes

For the best flavors, let the soup simmer longer if possible. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
