Sweet and Sour Beef and Cabbage Autumn Soup
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound grass fed ground beef
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 medium onion and 2 stalks celery, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 medium Golden Delicious or other sweet-tart cooking apple, unpeeled, diced
6 cups organic beef broth
1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 tablespoons raw honey
1 tablespoon paprika, preferably Hungarian sweet
3 cups coarsely chopped Savoy, or green cabbage
1-2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
About 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add beef, caraway seeds and thyme and cook, stirring and breaking up the beef with a spoon, until it is mostly browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in pepper-onion mix, celery and apple; cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes more.
Stir in broth, tomatoes, honey and paprika and adjust the heat so the mixture boils gently. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Stir in cabbage and cook just until barely tender, 5 minutes more. Add vinegar, then to taste, salt and pepper.
