Recipe for Stuffed Cabbage Soup

Savory, hearty, and gluten-free - Stuffed Cabbage Soup has all the rich flavors of a traditional stuffed cabbage roll recipe without the fuss! Everything comes together in one pot or can be slow-cooked, which means less mess, and very few dishes. The garlic and spices combine with the slightly sweet cabbage in a tomato broth that brings all of these flavors together! Nothing says comfort like a big bowl of warm soup, and this is a healthy dinner recipe that I know you will love.

Notes

  • You can make this recipe in the crockpot instead! After browning the ground beef, combine all ingredients in the slow cooker, and cook on low for 6 hours, or high for 3-4.
  • The rice will continue to absorb broth, so add more as needed when reheating any leftovers. 
  • Don't love rice? Leave it out if you want! You can bulk up the soup with more veggies like celery, or add your favorite beans.
  • It's best to slowly add in the yogurt to keep it from curdling! Start by adding 1 Tablespoon at a time, stirring often.
