Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pounds | Ground beef |
| 1 | cup | Chopped onion |
| 1 | cup | Diced raw potatoes |
| 1 | cup | Sliced carrots |
| 1 | cup | Shredded cabbage |
| ¼ | cup | Uncooked rice |
| 6 | cups | Water |
| 1 | Bay leaf; crushed | |
| ½ | teaspoon | Dried thyme |
| 4 | teaspoons | Salt |
| ⅛ | teaspoon | Pepper |
| 19 | ounces | Canned tomatoes; cut up |
Directions
Brown the meat and onion in a large pot. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the tomatoes. Cover and simmer 1 hour.
Add the tomatoes at the end of the cooking time and cook just enough to heat them through. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
Makes 8 - 10 servings.
This recipe is from an old pamphlet put out by the former Calgary Power (now TransAlta Utilities), an electric utility company in Alberta.
Note : When it comes to soup I tend to use what I have. If I don't have cabbage but do have parsnips - no problem with the substitution.
I find this a bit bland as it stands and always add some garlic and hot pepper sauce, Ketjap Manis, Worcestershire sauce, Maggi etc. I never seem to make it the same way twice.
