Servings in this printout: 6
Ingredients
- 500 g 17% fat ground beef
- 500 g white cabbage
- 55 g yellow onion
- 1,000 g ready-to-use meat broth
- 100 g crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 g ground black pepper
- 0.6 g ground dried marjoram
Method
- Brown 500 g of 17% fat ground beef in its own fat. Add 55 g onion, 500 g white cabbage and 100 g crushed tomatoes instead of tomato paste.
- Add 1000 g ready-to-use meat broth, 0.5 g ground black pepper and 0.6 g ground dried marjoram. Simmer until the cabbage is tender.
- Divide the whole soup, including its liquid and fat, into six portions. All the spices are eaten.

low GL
Confidence · Low Some values or assumptions in the calculation are uncertain.
The estimate combines ingredient carbohydrate and GI data with modeled assumptions.
Estimate details and sources ↗
How was the estimate calculated?
The serving’s GL is calculated from ingredient data. Confidence describes the evidence behind the calculation. Your blood sugar response may vary.

Research sources and technical details
Source names and technical notes appear in their original form.
Modelled estimate, low confidence. Missing spice polyol data is handled using a calculation model restricted to this weighed recipe version. Displayed values remain stable throughout the approved scenario. This is not a measured meal glucose response or a biological uncertainty bound.

GI and calculation sources
- Published assignment for low-carbohydrate vegetables, not measured food GI · Coding estimate only. Application to named fresh herbs, sprouts and alliums is an explicit project interpretation. It does not establish a physiological maximum or a one-unit uncertainty bound. Not a default for seed spices, flour, sauces or stock.

This cutoff is a project rule, not a validated scientific threshold. Explicit AFCD commercial soy sauce and AFCD tahini plus complete Maille Dijon label are allowed, not all brands or pastes.

Notes
- Modelled estimate, low confidence. Missing spice polyol data is handled using a calculation model restricted to this recipe version. This is not a measured meal glucose response.
- Total carbohydrate is rounded to whole grams so that the displayed value stays the same throughout the approved calculation scenario. Other macros use two decimal places; other source uncertainty remains.
- The image illustrates serving; extra accompaniments shown are not included in the estimate.
