Cabbage Roll Soup

Feeling nostalgic for

cabbage rolls, but want a quick and easy dinner instead? Try a savory bowl of cabbage roll soup that is prepared in just two easy steps. It’s a hearty, warm bowl of comfort food that embraces all the goodness of cabbage rolls: ground beef, rice, tomatoes, and tons of green cabbage offset with a touch of light brown sugar to balance the sweet and sour flavor in the broth, along with the gentle spice of oregano and paprika. It’s the perfect solution when you’re craving all the same comforting flavors in half the time.

Cabbage roll soup toppings:
Ladle up a bowl and enjoy it as is, or serve alongside a topping bar—sort of like you would with a bowl of chili. What toppings work well with this soup, you may ask? Start with something creamy, like sour cream or Greek yogurt, and grated cheese, like cheddar or Swiss cheese. Then include an herb like parsley, dill, or cilantro. Add a spicy option with pickled or chopped jalapeños. Try whatever you think might be delicious, and let us know if you have a killer combo we must try!

Serving ideas:
This hearty soup is perfect on its own, but if you’re craving a side, we love it paired with fluffy potato rolls, air fryer okra, creamy mashed potatoes, or tzatziki potato salad. 

Loving the flavor of this cabbage roll soup? Try our skillet cabbage rolls, which are essentially an unstuffed cabbage roll in a skillet without the broth. Then check out our favorite cabbage recipes to use up the rest of the head of that green cabbage.

Storage:
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for around 3 to 5 days.
