CABBAGE ROLL SOUP

In a (soup) saucepan, sauté the minced meat with onion, garlic, and carrots.

When the beef is cooked, strain out any excess fat.

Return the saucepan to low-medium heat, and add the chopped cooked bacon. Cook for 1 minute.

Add chopped cabbage and cook for an additional two minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients: tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, sugar, rice, salt and pepper.

Simmer for 35-40 minutes (or until rice is cooked).

Enjoy!
