All the comforting flavors of traditional cabbage rolls transformed into a hearty, one-pot soup with ground meat, tender cabbage, tomatoes, and rice.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef, turkey, or pork
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup long-grain rice or 1 1/2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley, red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook the ground meat over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add the diced onion, garlic, and carrot. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring to a boil, then stir in the rice. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Add the shredded cabbage and continue simmering for another 10–15 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and rice is fully cooked.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with chopped parsley or red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Serve hot with optional garnishes like sour cream or grated cheese.

Notes

  • Add pre-cooked rice at the end to prevent overcooking.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • A splash of vinegar or lemon juice brightens the soup before serving.
  • Freezes well—store in portions for meal prep.
