1. Cook the Meat:
   • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
   • Add the ground beef or pork, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
2. Add the Vegetables:
   • Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for about 5 minutes, until it starts to soften.
3. Add the Liquids and Seasonings:
   • Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef or chicken broth, paprika, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
   • Stir to combine everything well.
4. Simmer:
   • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
5. Serve:
   • Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
   • Serve hot, optionally topped with shredded cheese if desired.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can add a bay leaf while the soup is simmering and remove it before serving.
• If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend part of the soup with an immersion blender or in a regular blender (be sure to let it cool slightly first).
