It's low-salt and low-cal. 1 cup is 141 calories. Maybe I cooked it too much because it turned out more like a stew than a soup. But it was great and healthy.
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup onion, chopped
6 cups water
1 cup potato, peeled chopped
1 cup tomato, chopped
1 cup cabbage, shredded
1 cup carrot, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup long grain rice, uncooked
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5 teaspoons parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and onion is tender; drain. Add the water, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, celery, rice, thyme, bay leaf and cover and simmer for 1 hour.
2. Discard bay leaf. Sprinkle each serving with 1/2 teaspoon of parmesan.
