Description

This Cabbage Roll Soup recipe offers an incredible, hearty twist on the classic dish. It combines tender ground meat, savory spices, and vibrant vegetables like cabbage and tomatoes, all simmered in a flavorful beef broth with rice. It’s a comforting, one-pot meal perfect for any occasion, easily prepared in under an hour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 head green cabbage, chopped
  • 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Break it apart as it cooks until no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped cabbage to the pot and stir occasionally. Cook until the cabbage starts to wilt, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Add the uncooked rice into the pot and stir to combine evenly.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed flavors.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Adjust spice levels by adding red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicier soup.
  • Add beans or lentils for a heartier soup.
  • Serve with croutons or tortilla chips for added crunch.
  • Pair with a simple side salad for a complete meal.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute meat with plant-based alternatives or increase beans/lentils.
  • Use quinoa or farro instead of rice for a variation.
  • Add other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • Use spicy sausage or jalapeños for a spicier kick.
  • Add fresh dill or basil towards the end of cooking for extra freshness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months. Cool completely before freezing.
  • Reheat by simmering gently over low heat, adding broth if needed.
