1 lb (450g) ground beef or ground pork
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small head of cabbage, shredded
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
1 cup beef or chicken broth
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheese (for topping)
Instructions:

Cook the Meat:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the ground beef or pork, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the Vegetables:
Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for about 5 minutes, until it starts to soften.
Add the Liquids and Seasonings:
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef or chicken broth, paprika, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Stir to combine everything well.
Simmer:
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Serve:
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Serve hot, optionally topped with shredded cheese if desired.
Tips:

For extra flavor, you can add a bay leaf while the soup is simmering and remove it before serving.
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend part of the soup with an immersion blender or in a regular blender (be sure to let it cool slightly first).
Enjoy your comforting and keto-friendly cabbage roll soup!
