    This cabbage roll soup is a comforting and super delicious soup made with almost the same ingredients used in making a stuffed cabbage roll recipe and in way less effort and time.

    My cabbage roll soup is filled with ground beef, cabbage, rice, and carrots. I guarantee you that even if you aren't a big fan of cabbage, you will love it!

    Cabbage Roll Soup

    This is my best soup recipe to have on a chilly day. It is flavourful, healthy, and comforting. Also, I prepare it quickly, in just 30 minutes, which makes it the perfect choice on busy weekdays.

    My mother is the queen of baked cabbage rolls, and she was surprised when she tried my cabbage roll soup; she said WOW, it is the same flavor with less effort.

    Make Cabbage Roll Soup In The Slow Cooker

    You can make this soup recipe beautifully in the slow cooker. I suggest browning the beef first before adding all the other ingredients into the crockpot to cook.

    It will take up to 4 hours on low heat to become fully cooked. You can also make a big patch of it and freeze it for later.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients needed for making cabbage roll soup recipe.
    • Ground beef: I use extra lean ground beef.
    • Vegetables: I used onion, garlic, green cabbage and carrots.
    • Tomato sauce: I recommend using a good quality tomato sauce for the best results.
    • Tomato Paste
    • Chicken broth: I used store-bought broth; however, you can use homemade if you have some on hand.
    • Vegetable oil: You may use sunflower oil or avocado oil instead.
    • Rice: I used uncooked long grain jasmine rice.
    • Seasonings: I kept it simple; I only used bay leaf, salt and black pepper.
    • Dill: For extra flavor.

    Expert Tips

    • I prefer to chop the cabbage coarsely for better texture.
    • I used green cabbage in this stew; however, you can use red cabbage if you already have it in your fridge. You will have the same result.
    • If you like to replace white rice with brown rice, you will have to increase the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.

    Other Veggies To Add

    Almost all the veggies, such as kale, sweetcorn, spinach, cauliflower, tomatoes, or peas, will go well in this soup.

      I love cabbage. When I saw this recipe, I was so happy and eager to make it because there are not many cabbage recipes out here. I just want to thank Radwa for sharing this delicious recipe.
