This cabbage roll soup turns the classic European meal into a weeknight soup perfect for the whole family. It’s hearty, comforting, and incredibly delicious with warm, cozy flavors.
I love cabbage rolls, but I’ll be honest, I don’t love the time it takes to make them. That’s why I prefer this cabbage roll soup! It delivers the same comforting flavors and ingredients in the classic recipe like ground beef, tender cabbage, white rice, and herby, tomato-y aromatics, but with way less effort (and I’m all for less effort when I want to get dinner done quickly). The end result is sort of a cross between my cabbage soup and stuffed pepper soup for a hearty and healthy soup that I know you’ll have on repeat.
