Cabbage Roll Soup Recipe

Cabbage Roll Soup is perfect for people who love to eat Cabbage Rolls, but don’t have the time (or patience) to make them. Because let’s face it. They ain’t easy!

This week I’m participating in the Food Bloggers Challenge! I was tasked to create a recipe using the feature ingredient of the week. This week it’s cabbage and I’m making a yummy Cabbage Roll Soup.

It’s been awhile since I’ve used cabbage in our meals. It’s not that I don’t like cabbage because I do enjoy it. I think it’s just that my favourite recipes don’t use it as a main ingredient.

    In the last half hour, cook the rice and add it to the slow cooker. If you add it earlier, it will get mushy.

    1. Use all the same ingredients and measurements. Start by cooking the ground beef, onions and garlic in a large pot over medium heat.

    1. I made this according to recipe. My question is where do you get the juice from? Was good tasting but real thick ‍♂️

      1. Hi Joe, I use water, the can of diced tomatoes (undrained) and the tomato sauce for the liquid. You can add some beef broth or more water if you need to.

        1. Yes, I made it according to the recipe too. But I could tell it was a little thick so I added water amd seasoning and it came out great! Only thing I would suggest is saving some fresh cabbage to top it with when you serve it for some crunch. Tortilla chips work though too.

    2. Judith B Mark says:

      Can I use minute rice? Also plan to cut recipe in half. Will cooking time be the same?

      1. Yes, you can definitely use minute rice. You can reduce the cooking time if you halve the recipe. I would let it go for 6 hours and then check to see if it needs more time.

    3. This soup is so good, and instead of the rice, I added riced cauliflower. Very delicious and low carb too!

    4. J. M. Ross says:

      Made this yesterday, following recipe given here. Turned out excellent- wouldn’t change a thing! Packaged & froze some for work lunch meals and will be having it again tonight. Thank you!

    5. PAULETTE SIEGEL says:

      MY MOM MADE STUFFED CABBAGE WHICH WAS SWEET AND SOUR…HOW WOULD I DO THIS FOR THIS RECIPE….

    6. PAULETTE SIEGEL says:

      DO U HAVE RECIPES FOR DIABETES..

    7. Jacqueline blanchette says:

      Can I put this on high in the slow cooker? If so, for how long?

    8. Why does this soup have to cook for 8 to 10 hours???? Any particular reason? I made it ..it was delicious but I didn’t cook it that long … I couldn’t wait that long to have some.

      1. I think the reason was originally to compensate for a longer work day. You can do it in for less time for sure!

    9. Shan Brown says:

      I’m making this on the stove which I’m hoping will taste the same. But because I’m basically lazy, I’m wondering if it’s possible to buy the already shredded cabbage instead of cutting the cabbage myself.

    10. You don’t mention draining the grease off of the hamburger before combining with other ingredients. Just wanted to confirm whether to leave it in or not.
