Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (500 g)
- 4-5 cups cabbage (roughly shredded)
- ½ cup rice (130 g)
- 1 ½ cup tomato sauce (500 g tomato passata)
- 1 (14 oz) can of diced tomatoes (400 g)
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 carrots
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Add canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, dry rice and the seasoning to your slow cooker.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet, and transfer it to the slow cooker. Leave some of the grease from the meat behind in the skillet.
- Add diced onions to the pan you used to cook the meat, and sauté these for a few minutes until they are soft and translucent. Then, add finely grated garlic to the skillet, and sauté for another minute. Transfer the onion and garlic to the slow cooker.
- Lastly, peel and dice the carrots, and roughly chop or slice the cabbage. Add these to the slow cooker, and stir to combine the ingredients.
- Cover with a lid, and cook the cabbage roll soup on high for 4-6 hours, or on low for 7-8 hours. Taste the soup to check if it requires any additional seasoning, and to make sure that the rice has cooked through before serving.

Notes
- Although browning the meat is optional, it’s highly recommended. If you want to read more about it, I have made a whole post on how to brown mince!
- I like to leave the cabbage roughly chopped, with some larger pieces. This gives the soup a more interesting texture.
- Leave the lid on the slow cooker while the soup cooks. Removing the lid will let out a good portion of the steam, and lower the temperature in the crockpot. This can significantly increase the required cooking time.
- Leftover cabbage roll soup can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 6 months. Reheat it in a pot or microwave, and serve the leftovers warm.
