EASY CABBAGE ROLL SOUP | No stuffing or rolling required!



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.

    Soup season continues! And this is perfect for those getting hammered with cold and chilly weather right now. Plus, I love that it's so easy to meal prep (you know that's my fave). 😉 xo – Lisa

    Have been Downshiftology soup-making for lunch all winter long! Especially love the sweet potato, carrot ginger, and beef stew soups. Excited for this one too!! Also would love to see more soup recipes that are AIP-friendly/adaptable (no spices or nightshades).

  16. @AppealToHeaven

    I like the idea of combining ground beef & pork. If you're watching carbs, what would be a good rice substitute? Maybe do completely without.

    I love cabbage rolls, but seeing your cabbage roll soup makes my mouth watering; it looks so delicious. I'll definitely try it soon, so thank you for sharing.♥👍👍💜

    Kimchi soup (Korean) with cabbage is my go to for winter with the spice. You will not be cold after a bowl of it 😅 I also love a great pho Vietnamese soup. Lots of spices and lime and ah so good! Cabbage is such a great addition to soup. Going to try this one Next week as we do like cabbage rolls.

  23. @IHealLiving

    I wonder if you could do a stuffed mushroom soup… so much work to stuff the mushrooms but… that stuffed pepper soup was amazing!

  24. @RockJawRicky

    Love this soup. I'll try your recipe but I think it also needs a pinch of thyme. My other favorite for winter which in some ways is similar is Italian sausage, kale and lentil soup.

    Your channel is the top of my list! Thanks Lisa!

  25. @M4R1N4

    This looks delicious, and one that would be good to make in batches for freezing too! Thanks for all of your delicious recipes, I swear we are sisters from different misters!! Stay warm 🥰

  28. @sidsid6380

    I am making this but using crumble and veggie broth and maybe some jalapeños. Looks amazing and a perfect winter meal..

  32. @scottl4124

    Soup season wont end until almost May here is the very wet "west" side of Washington. lol Its raining today.

  36. @autumngirl6511

    What's the difference between the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce?
    Im in the UK, is tomato sauce also known as tomato puree, or passata? Its thinner than puree.
    Really want to make this 😊
    Thanks!

    I would love to see you, make a version of the famous Finnish salmon soup called lohikeitto. It is my favourite soup and so popular in Finland. 🇨🇦🇫🇮
