Chef John's cabbage roll soup tastes exactly like Polish-style cabbage rolls, because it has all the same ingredients. This delicious and comforting one-pot soup satisfies the exact same craving, but involves a fraction of the work.
Ingredient:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, diced
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pound ground beef
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
2 1/2 cups beef broth, plus more as needed
3 cups canned crushed or puréed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups water, plus more as needed
2 1/2 pounds green cabbage, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
