Cabbage Roll Soup is a hearty and delicious soup made with ground beef, tomatoes, rice, and of course cabbage. This recipe is a simple soup to make and comes together quickly.

Soup is one of my favorite things to make when the weather cools down. Cabbage rolls are one of the things I enjoyed eating when I was a kid. This recipe combines these two favorite things, but it is a lot less fuss than rolling up cabbage leaves.

This soup is a meal in itself, with ground beef, vegetables, and rice. But sometimes I like a sandwich with my soup. My favorite to serve with this soup is a simple grilled cheese. The combo is perfect for lunch or dinner.

Helpful Tips:

  • Use a Dutch oven or a heavy soup kettle for making soup.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the Dutch oven with the hamburger, so that the onion and garlic can saute while the hamburger is browned.
  • Remove any grease from the Dutch oven once the hamburger is browned.
  • Season the soup with salt and pepper when all of the other ingredients are added.
  • Remove the bay leaves from the soup before serving it.
  • Store the soup in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • The soup can be frozen if you would like to keep it longer.

Steps for making Cabbage Roll Soup

Step one

Add the hamburger, onion, and garlic to a Dutch oven or a heavy soup pot. Cook until the hamburger is no longer pink.

    I prefer my soups on the thick side, so I won’t need to thin this one bit! It sounds delicious, Dawn!

    Gosh, I haven’t thought of cabbage rolls in so long! But they are such a classic comfort food. I might need to make some soon! Actually, check that, I just need to make this soup instead. It’s finally starting to cool off here, so soup season is in full force! This sounds like the perfect bowl for dinner on a chilly Fall evening! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’m a big cabbage lover too! Cabbage rolls are one of my favorites – didn’t have them when I was a kid which makes me love them even more now. I love how thick and hearty this soup is – perfect on a cold night!
