Cabbage Roll Soup
Description
Cabbage Roll Soup begins by browning ground beef in vegetable oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, then sautéing finely diced onion and minced garlic until softened. Chopped green cabbage and quartered, sliced carrots are added along with tomato sauce, beef broth, white rice, a bay leaf, and a few tablespoons of light brown sugar to balance acidity. The soup is simmered until the rice is tender and flavors meld.
The result captures the essence of stuffed cabbage rolls without the labor of rolling, providing a soup with a slightly sweet-savory broth, tender beef, vegetables softened but not mushy, and a subtle aromatic presence from bay leaf and parsley. It is warming and filling, suitable for a casual family meal.
Before serving, the bay leaf is removed and fresh chopped parsley is scattered on top for brightness. The soup can be served as a main dish accompanied by bread or as a satisfying starter to a larger meal.
