Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 pounds ground meat (or your favorite blend of veal, pork and beef)
1 cup uncooked rice
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 medium onion, minced
2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup coarsely minced onion
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes with juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium cabbage
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup golden raisins
Sour cream and fresh dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, rice, salt, pepper, cumin and onions. Form into 1-inch balls and set aside while you make the soup.
  • For the soup: In a 6-quart pot, sweat the garlic in the olive oil until white in color. Add the onions and sweat until translucent. Then add 1 1/2 cups water, the carrots, tomato paste, brown sugar, ketchup and whole tomatoes with juice. Season with salt and pepper and simmer at a lively bubble for 10 minutes. Crush the whole tomatoes with a potato masher or fork. Continue to simmer until the carrots are tender, about 10 more minutes.
  • Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth but not pureed. Return the soup to the pot. Remove the cabbage ribs and cut the leaves crosswise into 1/4-inch ribbons. Add the cabbage to the soup and stir to incorporate. Add the bay leaf and simmer over medium-high heat for 10 minutes more (the cabbage should be reduced in size). Add water to thin the soup to the desired consistency. Add the meatballs and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the lemon juice and raisins 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, compact cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid cabbages with brown or wilted leaves.
  • Prepare the cabbage properly: Remove the outer leaves and core of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into wedges or quarters, depending on the size of your pot.
  • Brown the meat: Browning the meat adds flavor and depth to the soup. Be sure to drain off any excess grease before adding the meat to the soup.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
  • Season the soup well: Be generous with the salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to become tender.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: This will add a creamy richness to the soup.

Conclusion:
