Notes
Recipe Tips
- Carrots - I like to shred the carrots in this recipe to make sure that they are tender in this soup. However, you can peel and dice the carrots to put into the soup if you prefer.
- Preparing Cabbage - Make sure to chop the cabbage small enough so that it can fit on the soup when serving this soup.
- Soup Consistency - This soup is hearty and is a thicker soup. Add more broth or water to thin it out based on your preference if you prefer a thinner soup.
- Double Batch of this Soup - This recipe freezes beautifully for future easy meals.
- Cabbage Roll Soup with Sausage - Substitute half the beef for mild Italian sausage.
- Vegetarian Version - Skip the beef and add beans or lentils for protein.
- Low-Carb Option - Omit the rice and add extra veggies like cauliflower or zucchini.
- Add Spice - Toss in red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce for a little heat.
