Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Soup: Incredibly easy and the flavor is out-of-this-world! A winter staple soup! Trim Healthy Mama Diet (S) Meal.
Hey there, friend. How has your week been - it's Friday? We've had a pretty snowy week and am looking forward to seeing warmer temperatures.
Speaking of the temperatures, the other day I started to crave St. Patrick's Day foods - like shepherd's pie, cabbage rolls, corned beef, and Guinness. Of course, I didn't have everything at once or hardly any of it, definitely looking forward to making all of those yummy dishes in March. Now I did make a fantastic unstuffed cabbage roll soup because of the how the weather has been - brrrrr.
There are two ways you can make it, with or without the rice. I made it without the rice, but I will tell you how to make it with in the notes section of the recipe.
Last year, I started to dab into the trim healthy mama diet and I am going to try to start it again. It's really hard because I love comfort food, which means carbs and fats in the same dish. I am starting to tweak things already and I will have a full post up next week for you detailing everything. Sorry to leave ya hangin'!
So this unstuffed cabbage soup is so good, my friend. I think you will like it - no, I think you will love it. It really is that good and warms you up inside. Since it is Friday, feel free to serve with a co*cktail or beer of your choice! 🙂 Or you can enjoy one while you are making this and I will tell you, it only takes 20-30 minutes from start to finish.
One more thing I should tell you about this amazing recipe. You can either make it with ½ pound of ground beef or 1 pound, all depends on how meaty you like your soup. For us, I used ½ pound and there was plenty of meat in the soup.

Hi this looks yummy and I was just wondering if you've ever tried to freeze it? If you have does it freeze well?

My Fitness Pal has a great nutrition calculator. I am not sure how many calories per serving and it does depend on the brand of the ingredients you use.

Made this for supper last night - Awesome! I'm looking forward to having leftovers for lunch today! Thanks for an easy on-plan recipe 🙂 I was looking for something comforting to make with cabbage and this looked great. It had a good zing with the cayenne (and I just realized I forgot to add the Worcestershire!). I will definitely be making this again!

I have made a similar soup for years, I also add a can of drained and rinsed kidney beans to mine, plus I sprinkle some cinnamon in it after adding the cabbage. Sounds a little strange but adds depth to the taste.
