Description

Cabbage Roll Soup turns classic cabbage rolls into a hearty, healthy soup that the whole family will love. Packed with flavorful veggies and comforting broth, this soup is a perfect weeknight dinner that is both gluten and dairy-free.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced finely
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, quartered and sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • A few spears of fresh thyme leaves, picked
  • 1 small green cabbage, chopped (about 67 cups)
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 3 (8 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup brown rice, uncooked, or quinoa
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Heat the Oil: In a large Dutch oven pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Cook the Beef: Add the lean ground beef and cook, mincing the meat with a wooden spatula as it browns. Season with kosher salt and ground pepper.
  • Add the Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, quartered carrots, diced red bell pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Cook for a few more minutes, until the veggies start to soften.
  • Deglaze the Pot: Add 1/2 cup of the beef broth to deglaze the pot, stirring well to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the remaining ingredients—chopped cabbage, low-sodium beef broth, crushed tomatoes, uncooked brown rice (or quinoa), and the bay leaf. Stir well to combine.
  • Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is done and the cabbage is tender.
  • Serve: Remove and discard the bay leaf. Serve the soup hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • This soup can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors improve as it sits.
  • Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a lighter version.
