Stuffed Cabbage Soup

When I was thinking about making Stuffed Cabbage Soup I’ve never actually made traditional Stuffed Cabbage. Sorry…it just seems like a lot of work.

I’m the one that is all for dumping the ingredients into a pot and calling it a day. You still get all the flavors without all the sautéing, stuffing, rolling and baking.

The Shock

It always amazes me the recipes that you guys (the Keto/Low Carb community) gravitate towards. I really should stop trying to guess what people will be really interested in making.

This is one of those “Give ’em what they want” instances.

I first made Stuffed Cabbage Soup thinking it was kinda boring. You know…beef, cabbage and tomatoes are so simple. I really try to WOW with some of my recipes.

I knew this soup was delicious, but didn’t really have a ton of confidence in it’s popularity. So much so that I took the ONLY photo with my iPhone (usually I have an entire photo session with each recipe).

This Stuffed Cabbage soup got almost no love from the beginning. And now I’m feeling bad about that.

So…

The popularity of this recipe was just another reminder that SIMPLE-EVERY-DAY meals are really fricking popular. People want delicious staple meals that require very little effort.

TAKING NOTE IN MY BRAIN!

Easy ingredients

The success of this soup is threefold. Half an onion, pound of ground beef, head of cabbage…few other simple things and your soup is done.

  1. Easy ingredients
  2. Easy to make in under 30 minutes
  3. Delicious flavor combo

Ready in 30 minutes or less

Stuffed Cabbage soup comes together so quickly. I start by sautéing the onion in a heavy stock pot. I add in the chopped cabbage and let those both soften for 5 or so minutes.

Then I add all the other ingredients and mash them all together in the stock pot. Your ground beef cooks in the liquid of the beef broth and tomatoes. Crazy, right?

I cook the beef in the simmering liquid so that it’s softer in the soup. Plus it saves time from having to use two pots.

Once all the ingredients have made it into the pot for the Stuffed Cabbage soup, simply simmer for 15 minutes or so to cook through.

Great as leftovers

If there are any leftovers of the Stuffed Cabbage soup store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
