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!

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.

Possibly the only good thing about Covid is it’s putting people back in the kitchen trying out new recipes. Made this soup today and it is absolutely DELISH! Thanks for posting it.
This soup was really delicious…enjoyed that there was not too much liquid…meant I could enjoy a big spoonful and the flavour of all the ingredients. Served it with crusty rolls. Husband loved it…definitely a keeper!!! Followed the recipe exactly…so good!!!
Hi! I’m making this tomorrow. Looks delicious. Can I substitute basmati rice for minute rice?
That should be fine, yet allow time for extra cooking of the rice. 🙂
Cooked this for dinner tonight! So good! Can’t wait for lunch tomorrow (its going to be leftover soup!). Will definitely make it again. Most likely many times!
About having rice in my soup ,but want to freeze a couple single portions. Suggestion on when or if I should put the rice in. This sounds very good. I have joined Misfit and I have a lot of veggies to work with.
I would freeze complete with the rice! 🙂
Made this yesterday and the family loved it. Didn’t have tomato paste or minute rice, so I subbed tomato sauce and about a cup and half of rice that was leftover from the night before. Since the rice was already cooked, I added it just before serving, and that worked out fine.
I plan to add some carrot to it next time….
As written, the recipe pretty much filled my crockpot – – – 6-8 GENEROUS servings, 10-12 for lighter eaters.
Is it 3/4 of a broth or 3-4 900 boxes of broth?
it’s 3/4 of a 900ml box of broth. Adding the entire 900ml container is also fine too.
Made this today. I added more broth so it would go farther but I also added a bit of cayenne and chilli flakes. F you like spicy this is the soup for you. Delish!!!! My son didn’t want to eat it at first. (I don’t like soup. I don’t like rice in my soup). He came back for seconds AND THIRDS. ?
YAY! I tend to spice things down a little because, kids. But that sounds like my kind of soup!
Thank you for the update after trying it, I’m so glad you enjoyed! 🙂
Tastes pretty good! Definitely not a soup though… I followed it exact minus the green beans and used brown rice instead of white and it’s very thick, hardly any liquid at all.
Perhaps cooking temp difference with crockpots? I definitely suggest checking consistency about an hour before serving and add more liquid if needed.
Do you use 3/4 of the broth for the recipe or the whole 900 ml of broth?
I used 3/4 of the 900ml container. Yet, I think adding the whole thing wouldn’t hurt at all! It’s such a huge batch, it would work out fine if you did
Do I stir the mixture before it cooks or after it cooks in the slow cooker?
I’m a mixer, so I did before and then halfway to check progress. No harm in mixing at any stage. 🙂
I made this and it came out great. My husband loved it so much he made me print it out, even though I pinned it on Pinterest. Also, it said 3/4 of 900 ml broth. The conversion was a bit tricky, I used the whole container of broth because I don’t have a measuring cup with ml (which is 32 oz here) and was still good. Nice balance of flavors!
that’s awesome, I’m so happy you enjoyed it and thank you for sharing! I know that part was a little daunting, but honestly, I took the container and put in about 3/4 and called it good. Adding more wouldn’t be a harm at all. 😉
he recommended amount of cholesterol is 300 mg yet you say this has 9 grams per serving almost 3 times the rec#commended amount are you sure this is correct ? if so this is a very unhealthy recipe !!!

If you’re cooking at Low, is it still 15 minutes for your rice or do you turn cooker back up to high at the end?
You can leave it at low 🙂
So like everybody SHOULD be we are safe distancing shut in away from the virus. Looking for new supper choices. This was a good recipe. I didn’t have any tomato paste so I used a large can of tomato sauce. Put bit more Italian seasoning and you know what just remembered forgot to put garlic in. Still good. Nice and thick. We had it with bisquick. Biscuits and some cheese and the extra cut up cabbage made for coleslaw. All was good. Try it. Stay safe people and stay home.
Great substitutions! Thanks for sharing, and take care!
