This easy Cabbage Roll Soup has all of the flavor of cabbage rolls, but no leaf folding needed!
One of my favorite things to have for supper when I was a kid was Spanish rice. Cabbage rolls were something that my grandmother used to make and I always loved that the cabbage rolls had almost the same ingredients inside them.
Making cabbage rolls can be a bit of a challenge though. You have to have just the right heads of cabbage and it can take a bit of practice. I know I have struggled myself to make cabbage rolls. I wish my grandmother was still around to share her secrets with me.
So just skip the whole process and turn it all into a soup! All of the flavor and none of the hassle.
To Make Cabbage Roll Soup you will need:
- ground beef
- onion
- green bell pepper
- red bell pepper
- cabbage
- tomato sauce
- salt
- black pepper
- dill
- parsley
- hot paprika (see note in recipe)
- bay leaves
- beef broth
- honey (omit for keto)
- Dutch oven

I like that this soup uses both red and green bell pepper.
You’ll also need half of a head of cabbage, which you will shred and set aside until later.
To begin, cook ground beef, onion, and bell peppers together in a Dutch oven over medium heat until the beef is browned, about 5 minutes.
Add in beef broth, tomato sauce, along with bay leaves, honey, parsley, dill, onion powder, hot paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add in the shredded cabbage and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Find and discard the bay leaves.
Serve the soup with a scoop of Cauliflower Rice, or regular rice if you like, or simply enjoy it as it is.
Enjoy!

My husband is Mr. picky and he
really liked this surprise..
So glad to hear it!
Just watching the video I know this is a definite winner. Thanks for sharing. Btw, what is the tool you used to open the mason jar?
Thank you! The tool is a vintage/antique one called a pry-a-lid. You can occasionally find one in an antique store if you look really hard, but I have seen them on Etsy.
Yes I made this recipe and we love it without the hot sauce .
