A comforting and flavorful soup featuring beef and a medley of vegetables, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Ensure the beef is evenly browned for a deeper flavor.
Add the chopped onion to the beef and cook until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Add the diced potatoes, tomatoes, shredded cabbage, sliced carrots, and chopped celery to the pot.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, then add the rice, thyme, bay leaf, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste before simmering.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the soup doesn't stick to the bottom.
Remove the bay leaf and serve the soup hot, garnished with grated parmesan cheese.
Serve with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
