Cabbage Roll Soup
Description
This soup starts with a sear of ground beef in olive oil to develop a browned crust, adding depth to the flavor. Onions and garlic provide an aromatic base, to which rosemary, thyme, and Italian seasoning are added along with tomato paste to build savory layers. Worcestershire sauce contributes umami complexity. The key cabbage roll ingredients—cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and rice—are then combined with beef broth to create a thick, stew-like soup.
Simmering allows the rice to cook through and the vegetables to soften, blending flavors well. A bay leaf and brown sugar add subtle herbal notes and help mellow the tomato acidity, respectively. The final soup offers a familiar combination of savory beef, tender cabbage, and a tomato-bright broth. Chopped parsley adds fresh herbal brightness when served.
This soup works well as a stand-alone meal for cooler weather or when craving the flavors of classic cabbage rolls in an easier-to-prepare form.
