Soups On!!! This wholesome sweet-and-sour soup combines
beef, sweet paprika and cabbage—ingredients that star in a number of German
dishes. It is particularly nice served with crusty rye bread. It's filling and tasty --- we love it ♥.
Ingredients:
·
1 tablespoon canola oil
·
1 pound lean (90% or leaner) ground beef
·
1 teaspoon dried thyme
·
2 1/2 cups frozen bell pepper and onion mix,
thawed, chopped
·
1 medium Golden Delicious apple, unpeeled, diced
·
6 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
·
1 15-ounce can crushed or diced tomatoes
·
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
·
1 tablespoon paprika, preferably Hungarian sweet
·
3 cups coarsely chopped Savoy, or green cabbage
·
1-2 tablespoons cider vinegar
·
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Preparation:
Heat oil in a Dutch
oven over medium heat. Add beef and thyme and cook, stirring and breaking up
the beef with a spoon, until it is mostly browned. Stir in pepper-onion mix and
apple; cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes more.
Stir in broth,
tomatoes, honey and paprika and boil gently. Cook for 10 minutes to blend the
flavors. Stir in cabbage and cook just until barely tender, 4 minutes more.
Season with vinegar and pepper to taste.
Happy Cooking ☺
