CABBAGE ROLL SOUP RECIPE

My grandmother always made cabbage rolls with a mixture of pork ground pork and ground beef which is what I use i this recipe.  I sometimes make this cabbage roll soup with bacon as well, I love the smoky flavor it adds (and I just fry it with the rice). If you just have one or the other that will still work perfectly (I’ve also substituted ground turkey before with delicious results too).

Just brown your meat, throw everything in the pot and let it simmer (no need to precook your rice)!  The result is a rich and hearty soup loaded with cabbage, meat & rice; perfect for a winter or fall evening!  This soup comes out very thick, almost stew-like, if you prefer a more soupy consistency, you can add more broth.
