Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup
This Crock Pot Cabbage Roll Soup is a twist on traditional a cabbage roll recipe, for a fraction of the work. With ground beef, cabbage, onion and vegetables; simmered in a rich tomato sauce in your slow cooker.
I love my Lazy Cabbage Rolls recipe, which is a deconstructed version of slow cooker cabbage rolls. Taking it a step further, our Stuffed Cabbage Casserole is a one-pot dish that the whole family loves.
Saving time to get the classic flavour, it’s why I love to make One-Pot Lasagna Soup or Slow Cooker Easy Lasagna.
This great recipe is much less work and time than making traditional cabbage rolls. Plus, a hot bowl of soup is just needed sometimes.
Cabbage rolls are one of those meals that could be a lunch or filling dinner.
Yet the downside is that they take so much time to prep and cook. I hate spending more time making a dinner than enjoying it.
This is why I love this Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup recipe. You get all the flavour but it’s not as time consuming to make.
Being a slow cooker meal, it’s a no-fuss meal that is ready when you are.
Plus this slow cooker soup warms your belly and soul, a true comforting meal. Just like our easy Crockpot Ham and Bean Soup recipe!

What to Serve with Cabbage Roll Soup
Since this soup is so filling, I like to think of it as a main course dinner.
Yet, smaller servings would make it great for lunch.
Even smaller yet and it’s a great appetizer or wonderful to bring to a potluck.
I suggest serving this soup with these Easy Baking Powder Biscuits or our homemade Air Fryer Garlic Bread. Both are a simple yet perfect side. And great for dipping!
How Long is Cabbage Roll Soup Good For?
Once completely prepared, this crockpot cabbage roll soup recipe can last in in the refrigerator for three to four days.
Just make sure to put any leftover soup in an airtight container or cover well with plastic wrap.
If you want crockpot cabbage soup at a later date, I suggest freezing some in between. I talk about how to freeze this soup below.

Can you Freeze Cabbage Roll Soup?
Yes, you can! Soups are great for freezing for another dinner much like this Slow Cooker Butter Chicken.
Both as a whole or in individual-sized portions too.
I’d make sure not to overcook the rice, no matter if you’re enjoying it now or later though. Mushy rice just isn’t preferred.
I like to freeze some of this soup, for those days when you need a quick meal. I defrost in the fridge the night before and re-heat in a pot on the stove.
You can do the same with this Tomato Vegetable Hamburger Soup.

What kind of broth did you use (veggie, beef, chicken)?
I used chicken but really, you can use either
Making this today and it smells delicious! My only concern is the recipe called for 3/4 cup broth. I put 1 cup broth in and as I check on it it isn’t very “soupy”. Am I doing something wrong?
Hello! I have found that when slow cooking, all recipes get more ‘liquidy’ as time goes on. Cooking, plus the steam. In the end ours turned out great. Curious to see your result! 🙂
How much is 3/4 900 ml
We have 900ml packages of this here, and I just use 3/4 of the package. If your packages are slightly different, adjust. Yet, being off 50ml here or there won’t make a difference. 🙂
Going to assume that you add the cabbage in the slow cooker at the same time as you add the vegetables? You don’t mention it in your recipe
Yep, the cabbage in step 2 with ‘the vegetables’ 🙂
Please update your net carb amount,it would not be zero. 24 if the other numbers are correct.
Hi Paula,
I know, and sadly it’s the Nutritionix caculator that messes this up in the recipe card itself. They don’t support the counting of carbs or sugar alcohols, so instead of saying that – they say 0. I’ve put in a request to the developer to fix that so hopefully soon! 🙁
Really Really good passing this recipe on to twin sister So Easy. Thanks
I am in love! This sounds perfect for this dreary, wet snow, slushy day
Sounds delicious!!
However, why use minute rice? Couldn’t regular basmati rice go in maybe 1 hr before eating?
And are the liquids all added at the beginning?
Thanks!
For sure!
I’ve been making my own version of this for years. Sometimes I add corn And I like spicy foods so I usually Use Cajun seasoning For the spices. Sometimes I just leave out the rice And other times I will put kidney beans or any other type of beans in it It’s very Versace and delicious
I was also wondering when is the stock added?
Gah! Good catch, it’s been updated! 🙂
I am always looking for new recipes to try in my crock pot. This sounds like a delicious meal!
Put this in the slow cooker before we went to a car parts swap meet, it was ready when we got home. DELICIOUS-will definitely make it again Thanks for sharing this
I love cabbage rolls but they are time consuming to make, so this soup just fills the bill. I love that it’s a slow cooker recipe too. Thanks for posting your recipe, have to make it soon.

I love cabbage rolls, but find them too time-consuming to make. This slow cooker version is a great way of getting the same awesome taste.
Great looking soup I would make without Beef.
