Instructions

Prep the veggies: Chop onion, carrots, celery, and cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
Crockpot method: In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil, then cook onion and ground beef until browned, seasoning with salt, oregano, and thyme. Transfer to crockpot and add garlic, carrots, celery, tomatoes, cabbage, and beef stock. Cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.
Stovetop method: Follow the same steps but transfer everything into a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered for 20–30 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Instant Pot method: Use sauté function to cook onion in oil for 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and ground beef, cooking until browned. Season with salt, oregano, and thyme. Stir in remaining ingredients, seal lid, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Quick release pressure when finished.
To serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, use bone broth instead of regular stock.
This soup freezes well for up to 3 months.
Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
Add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
