Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced into rounds
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Add the diced onion and sliced carrots to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion softens. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes. Add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add the chopped cabbage and green beans. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables reach your desired tenderness.

Notes

Taste the broth near the end of cooking and add a pinch more salt if the tomatoes taste too sharp. Leftovers thicken as they sit, so stir in a splash of broth when reheating. The cabbage softens but still holds some texture, which pairs well with the tender carrots and beans.
