Cabbage Roll Soup
Cabbage Roll Soup recipe is a delicious dinner recipe that will warm your belly on a cold and crisp fall day. This unstuffed cabbage soup is one of the BEST soup recipes that we have ever made and very easy to make!
With lots of chopped vegetables, broth, tomato sauce, ground beef and rice, this hearty soup is a total winner. We like to serve this soup with our easy and delicious 30-minute dinner rolls.
Cabbage Roll Soup
This recipe is pretty simple, which is just one of the reasons I love it so much. You simply season and brown your ground beef, add veggies, broth and tomato sauce, then let sit for 25 minutes. My whole family loves this soup!
We really like making this recipe in our amazing dutch oven, but you can totally use your soup pot instead. Any pot with a lid will work!
How to make Cabbage Roll Soup?
Ingredients you will need:
- lean ground beef
- vegetable oil
- onion
- garlic
- green cabbage
- carrots
- low-sodium beef broth
- tomato sauce
- white rice
- bay leaf
- brown sugar
- parsley
To make this delicious unstuffed cabbage soup, you’ll need to start with lean ground beef. You can use regular ground beef, but we like that the lean keeps out a lot of the grease. You put a nice golden brown on the beef and then add in the rest of the ingredients to the pot.
I like to make a double batch of this soup so we have leftovers to eat. We always have sporting events and this is such an easy dinner to heat up on those busy nights knowing everyone will love it.
Can you Freeze Cabbage Roll Soup?
Yes!! If you have leftovers, this soup freezes perfectly. Â We place the cooked and cooled soup into individual portion freezer bags and place them on a tray or cookie sheet to freeze. Â Once the soup is frozen, stack the bags in the freezer. Take a bag out to thaw when ready for use. These make easy and delicious lunches.
What Is A Dutch Oven?
A Dutch Oven is very similar to your usual large pot, except with one big difference. That is, it’s usually made out of cast iron. Also, it is much heavier and thicker and the lid fits very tightly on top. Here is the classic red one we like to use.
To cut and dice your vegetables, I always suggest getting a Ninja Food Chopper Express Chop. (Just $18.99 on Amazon.) This things makes chopping one hundred times easier! It’s such a time saver.

This Cabbage roll soup was a hit with my family! Â I also made the dinner rolls and got with them! Â Thanks for these recipes that really work!
Has anyone made this without the sugar?
I just made this soup for the first time and really loved it except for that my family agreed it was too sweet. I definitely will make this again and omit the sugar.
One of my wife and I’s favorite winter recipes. We don’t eat meat so we omit the ground beef and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth. I use a little more cabbage, carrots and rice than the recipe calls for. I omit the brown sugar as well. It’s so amazing and the leftovers are even better. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe.
Made this yesterday. It is delicious and easy to make. This recipe is a keeper, I will be making this often this winter.
I love making cabbagerolls, but this looks a lot easier. I’m going to try it one day.
Thanks for your recipe.
I was searching for an easy instructed recipe and have found it. Having three boys of my own (22, 16, 5), your recipe *sung to me!

I made this for my family and we all absolutely loved it! It was so delicious and super comforting. Thank you for the recipe. I’m so glad I doubled and put some in the freezer for another day!
I hoped this soup would taste exactly like my cabbage rolls.  When it didn’t I added 4 strips of minced bacon fried just short of crisp.  That did it!  Delicious.  Thank you so much for this recipe .  I’ve passed it on to my 2 sons
