Cabbage Roll Soup

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.
