A hearty and comforting one-pot soup that captures all the flavors of classic cabbage rolls—savory ground meat, rice, tomatoes, and tender cabbage in a rich broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Add ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Stir in cabbage and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to soften.
  5. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, rice, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  6. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until rice and cabbage are tender.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use brown rice, but extend simmering time or par-cook it first.
  • This soup freezes well—cool completely before storing in airtight containers.
  • Make it vegetarian by omitting meat and using vegetable broth and lentils.
