Some of yall said that you loved my cabbage rolls recipe but don’t have the patience or time to make them. For those people.. I give you Cabbage roll soup! Now it’s not going to taste exactly like the cabbage rolls, but this recipe is super easy and can be made in the crockpot if needed
1 large onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 pound lean ground beef
½ pound lean ground pork or additional ground beef
¾ cup uncooked long grain rice
1 medium head cabbage chopped, core removed, about 8 cups
28 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups beef broth
1 ½ cups vegetable juice such as V8
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
salt and black pepper to taste
In a large pot, brown the onion, garlic, pork, and beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
Stir in the chopped cabbage and let cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
Add in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, V8 or vegetable juice, uncooked rice, paprika, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and let simmer until the rice is fully cooked, approximately 25-30 minutes.
Remove bay leaf and serve.
