As Seen On

Soups should always be a comforting, filling dish, and this hamburger cabbage soup fits the bill. This hamburger cabbage soup is like a deconstructed cabbage roll. It is made by sautéing aromatic veggies like onions, celery, garlic, and thyme until they soften, then green cabbage, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and a bay leaf are added. We added white rice to make the hamburger cabbage soup even more filling and slightly healthier. The Hamburger Cabbage Soup is allowed to simmer until the rice is tender, then it is topped with sour cream to add a creamy element and fresh parsley. This hamburger cabbage soup is a hearty, gluten-free delicious meal that will wow anyone who tastes it.

Can you freeze hamburger cabbage soup?

Yes, you can freeze hamburger cabbage soup. First, let the cabbage hamburger soup cool down completely and place it into small airtight containers or Ziploc bags. This makes it easier to reheat a single serving of cabbage soup instead of thaw and refreeze a big batch of hamburger cabbage soup. Next, label the containers or bags with the dish's name and today's date, then place them in the freezer. The cabbage roll soup will last in the freezer for two months.

Can you lose weight by just eating cabbage soup?

Although white rice is less healthy, it contains nutrients like manganese, iron, and B vitamins. Nevertheless, you can omit the white rice from the recipe if desired.
