Ingredients
Soup Base
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
- 4 cups roughly chopped green cabbage, about ½ of a medium head
Tomato Broth and Seasoning
- 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained

Instructions
Brown the Meat and Carrots
- In a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, cook the ground pork and diced carrots for 6 to 8 minutes until the meat is fully browned and the carrots have started to soften, then drain excess fat. The carrots will continue to soften during the cooking process.
Simmer the Soup Base

- Stir well to combine and bring the soup to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Cook the Rice and Finish
- Stir in the uncooked long grain white rice, cover again, and simmer for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the rice and cabbage are tender.
- Stir in the balsamic vinegar, taste, and adjust seasonings. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
