Warming Moroccan soup with minced meat & cabbage

Moroccan soup with minced meat & cabbage brings a familiar cabbage soup to everyday cooking in a new, spiced way. This hearty minced-meat soup is made in one pot and is especially good for cool evenings, busy weekdays, and when you want to make a bigger batch for the next day’s lunch. Finnish pork and beef mince makes the soup juicy and full of flavour, while potato and cabbage add just the right amount of hearty substance.

What makes Moroccan minced-meat soup special?
Ground cumin, thyme and chilli powder give the soup a Moroccan twist without making it too hot. Tomato purée and chopped tomatoes deepen the flavour, and red wine vinegar adds a little fresh lift. Protein-rich mince makes the dish filling and family-friendly, and cabbage adds fibre and lightness all in the same bowl.

Easy tips, variations and success
Brown the mince properly first to get a roasted flavour before adding the vegetables and spices. Shred the cabbage into fairly thin strips so it softens evenly. If you have cinnamon in your cupboard, add a small pinch with the other spices—it highlights the Moroccan notes. Want a milder version? Reduce the chilli powder. You can also make the soup even more substantial by adding chickpeas towards the end.

Best ways to serve Moroccan soup
Serve the soup piping hot straight away and, if you like, finish with a spoonful of crème fraîche or yoghurt (note milk allergy) to soften the spiciness. A crisp green salad and, for example, a cucumber and tomato salsa work well on the side. Sparkling water or mint iced tea is a great drink pairing.
