Beef and cabbage soup is the best warm soup you will ever have on a chilly day. It is flavourful, healthy, and comforting. Also, you can prepare it in no time, which makes it the perfect choice on busy weekdays. This cabbage soup is filled with cabbage, carrots, ground beef, rice, and tomato sauce. Even if you aren't a big fan of cabbage you will love it!
This beef and cabbage soup can be made beautifully in the slow cooker. I suggest browning the beef first before adding all the other ingredients into the crockpot to cook. It may take up to 4 hours on low heat to become fully cooked. You can also make a big patch of it and freeze it for later.

Top Tips
Chop the cabbage coarsely.
I used green cabbage in this soup; however, you can use red cabbage if you already have it in your fridge. You will have the same result.
If you like to replace white rice with brown rice, you will have to increase the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.
Can I add any more veggies to this soup?
You can add any veggies you fancy. Most of the veggies will go well in this soup such as kale, sweetcorn, spinach, cauliflower, tomatoes, or peas.
