Ingredients
Scale
Soup Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ medium onion, diced (about 60g)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
- ½ medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 400g)
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce alternative)
- 4 cups beef bone broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnish
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Melt Coconut Oil: Place a large pot over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Allow it to melt fully and coat the bottom of the pot evenly, which will help prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Brown Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the pot and break it into crumbles using a spatula. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and fresh ginger to the browned beef. Stir together and cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant and the onion softens slightly.
- Cook Cabbage: Stir in the thinly sliced cabbage and cook for 3 to 5 minutes to allow it to soften just a bit, stirring occasionally to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Add Broth and Seasoning: Pour in the beef bone broth and coconut aminos, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat to blend the flavors.
- Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
- Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference. Adjust the flavor by adding more coconut aminos if you like a stronger umami taste.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra touch of freshness and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for ground beef for a lighter option.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- For a low-sodium version, use low-sodium bone broth and reduce the amount of added salt and soy alternatives.
- This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- To make it vegetarian, replace beef with firm tofu and use vegetable broth instead of beef bone broth.
