Cabbage Roll Soup is a hearty, comforting one-pot meal that captures the classic flavors of stuffed cabbage rolls — ground beef, tender cabbage, rice, and a rich tomato broth — without the fuss of rolling and baking. Perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, chopped
  • 1–2 carrots, diced (optional)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white rice (uncooked)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
  3. Stir in chopped cabbage and carrots. Cook for a few minutes until slightly wilted.
  4. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the uncooked rice and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the rice and cabbage are tender.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving hot.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey for a leaner version.
  • For a low-carb option, use cauliflower rice.
  • Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice at the end for brightness.
  • Use cooked rice instead of raw if preferred — stir it in near the end.
  • Freezes well — allow to cool before storing in freezer containers.
