Here’s a comforting and hearty Cabbage Roll Soup recipe—it’s basically all the flavors of traditional stuffed cabbage rolls, but in a soup form:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 1 cup cooked rice (optional, can add later for thicker soup)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried parsley (optional)
- 1 tsp dried thyme (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth.
- Season with paprika, salt, pepper, parsley, and thyme.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30–40 minutes, until the cabbage is tender.
- Optional: Stir in cooked rice just before serving for a heartier soup.
- Serve hot with bread or rolls.
Result: A savory, tangy, and filling soup that tastes just like a deconstructed cabbage roll.
