Paleo Un-Stuffed Cabbage Soup

• Ingredients for Meatballs:
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1./2 pound ground pork (you can use all ground beef)
• 1 cup shredded caulilflower
• 1/4 cup shredded zucchini
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons chopped onion (I used frozen)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Ingredients for the Soup:
• 2 large cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup chopped onion (I used frozen)
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (San Marzano)
• 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste (I used from a tube)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 bay lead
• 1 medium cabbage, core removed (4 cups)
• 1/2 lemon, juiced, about 2 teaspoons

1. Take out your large cast iron pan. I love to use my Le Creuset Oval French Oven
2. For the meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, cauliflower/zucchini, salt, pepper, cumin and onions. Form into 1-inch balls. Heat your soup pot and add in olive oil. Saute until all sides are brown. About 7 minutes. Remove any excess grease.
3. For the soup: If you need an extra olive oil add it now if not: Add the onions and sweat until translucent then add in garlic about 3 minutes. Next add in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add in tomato pasta and stir with a spoon to mix into liquid. Add salt and pepper. Cover and lower to medium and cook for about 10 minutes.
4. Take cabbage and remove core and inner white part. Cut into thin slices and add to the pot. Cover and set temperature to a medium/low for 20 minutes.
5. Add in lemon juice and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
6. Enjoy with your favorite garnishes or toppings!
