Step-by-Step Instructions for Cabbage Roll Soup
  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer to your slow cooker.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: In the slow cooker, combine the chopped onion, cabbage, green beans, celery, and bell pepper. Stir gently into the browned beef.
  3. Add the Tomatoes and Seasonings: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and minced garlic. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
  4. Incorporate the Broth: Pour in 3/4 cup of your chosen broth, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Stir until combined.
  5. Cook the Soup: Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7 to 8 hours.
  6. Add the Rice: In the last 15-20 minutes of cooking, carefully stir in the uncooked minute rice.
  7. Serve Hot: Once the rice is tender, ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, perhaps with a slice of warm crusty bread.
