1 medium head green cabbage, cored and roughly chopped
1 pound Roma tomatoes, chopped
4 medium garlic cloves, minced
5 cups water
1 TBSP soy sauce
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
salt & pepper
3/4 cup uncooked long grain white rice
DIRECTIONS
Add the ground beef and onion to a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the cabbage, tomatoes, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage softens, about 7 minutes.
Add the water, soy sauce, crushed red pepper, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
Stir in the rice and reduce heat to medium-low. Place a lid on the dutch oven and simmer soup, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked, about 25 minutes. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
