The benefits of cabbage are multiple, a
vegetable that is hard to beat in the diet, low in calories, economical, a good
source of vitamin C, folic acid, fiber, and simple and easy to cook.
Cabbage soup
Cabbage Soup is the perfect way to enjoy
cabbage rolls without much effort!
Simmer cabbage, beef, pork and rice in a
delicious tomato gravy for a comfortable food bowl.
Growing up with a Polish grandmother,
dishes like Easy Cabbage Rolls, Cabbage and Noodles were staples on her table!
Simple and easy comfort food!
I know you guys love this recipe as much as
I love it because every time I post this cabbage soup to Facebook, it gets
crazy!
There are tons of great ways to prepare
cabbage rolls (including a cabbage casserole that can also be made in the slow
cooker)! As much as I love traditional cabbage rolls, I also love a good
belly-warming soup bowl!
This cabbage soup recipe has been adapted
from my favorite cabbage rolls to make a quick and easy meal without making all
the effort! We simply add it to the bowl and go away, without having to roll!
How to make cabbage soup ?
My grandmother always made cabbage rolls
with a mixture of ground pork and ground beef which is what I use in this
recipe. Sometimes I make this cabbage soup with bacon too, love the smoky
flavor it adds (and just fry it with rice). If you only have one or the other
it will still work perfectly (I've also substituted ground turkey from before
with delicious results too).
Simply brown the meat, throw everything in
the pot and let it simmer (no need to pre-cook the rice)! The result is a rich
and filling soup with cabbage, meat and rice.
This soup comes out very thick, almost like stews, so if you prefer more
texture, you can add more broth.
We serve this with a side of buttermilk
biscuits or a homemade buttermilk biscuit and salad for a quick meal of the
week! Like most soups and stews, the leftovers (if you're lucky enough to have
any of them!) Are great!
