This Amish-inspired cabbage patch soup cooked in a slow cooker combines hearty ground beef with a medley of vegetables and savory herbs for a comforting meal.
Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef. 1 medium onion, chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 6 cups cabbage, chopped. 6 cups chicken broth. 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained. 1 cup carrots, sliced. 1 cup celery, sliced. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional. 1 bay leaf. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar.
Instructions: Stir-fry the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a pan over medium-low heat until the beef is no longer pink. Remove from heat and drain. Move the beef mixture that has been cooked to a slow cooker. In a slow cooker, put chopped cabbage, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, carrots, celery, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes if using, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Mix things together well. For 6 to 8 hours, or until the vegetables are soft, cover and cook on low heat. Before serving, throw away the bay leaf.
