Step 1

Add the avocado oil to a large thick-bottomed pot (I use a Dutch oven) and heat to medium-high.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, carrots and garlic. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Scoot the vegetables off to one side of the pot and add the ground beef. Allow it to brown for 3 minutes without touching it. Flip and brown for another 2 to 3 minutes. Break up the meat into smaller pieces using a spatula and stir it into the vegetables.

Step 4

Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Stir well, cover, and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has wilted, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Taste the soup for flavor and add sea salt to taste.

Step 6

Serve and enjoy!
