Instructions

Instructions

Instant Pot Pressure Cook Version:

  1. Insert stainless cooking bowl into the pot and press Saute: Brown the beef well then transfer the meat to a colander and rinse the ground beef for two minutes under running water and return to the pot.
  2. With the pot still set to Saute and the lid still off pour 1 cup of the beef broth on top of the meat, then add the chopped onion and allow these to cook into the meat over a high heat with the lid off until the juices have cooked down. This step is important as it lends a lot of flavor to the beef.
  3. Once the beef broth and onions are cooking into the meat, add the seasonings; Worcestershire, salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, garlic, oregano, and basil. Add the sweetener also and stir together.
  4. Next add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, cabbage and remaining beef broth to the ground beef mixture and stir to combine.
  5. If using the uncooked sprouted brown rice add it in before cooking.
  6. Place the cover on the pot and close the valve and set on Manual to cook for 30 minutes. Use QPR (quick pressure release) when the timer goes off).
  7. If using the pre-cooked rice just stir it in once the soup is done.
  8. Slow Cook Version: Follow steps 1-4 from above.
  9. Place the cover on the slow cooker pot and cook on low for 7 hours. Add the uncooked sprouted brown rice in the last 30 minutes of cooking if using, overwise wait until done and add in the pre-cooked rice.
  10. Add more water as needed this is a thick soup. My husband loves it this way and says I shouldn't change a thing but I did add some water to make mine soupier. (As shown in the picture.)

Recipe Notes

*As the pictures show, this is a very thick soup. My husband loves it this way and insists that I not change a thing, but if you'd like a soupier soup then feel free to add a few more cups of broth to this recipe.

*Make your own 32 oz tomato juice by mixing 1 6-oz can tomato paste and enough water to make a quart of juice.
