Start with a chub of medium ground beef and break it up in a heavy soup pot until browned.

Wash hands before handling ingredients (off-camera).

Add chopped carrots, onions, and celery to the pot and fry until softened.

Stir in tomato paste and fry it off at high heat for a bit.

Add two bay leaves, ground cloves, thyme, marjoram, and a bit of salt to the pot.

Add chopped cabbage (about a quarter to a third of a head) to the pot.

Add uncooked rice to the pot, adjusting the amount based on desired thickness.

Pour in two cups of water and add chicken stock to the pot.

Optionally, add an iron fish to boost iron content and let it boil for 10-15 minutes before removing.

Add a couple of tablespoons of Marmite to enhance flavor and umami.

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the rice is cooked through.

Remove bay leaves and the iron fish before serving.
