This Crock Pot Cabbage Roll Soup is a twist on traditional Cabbage Rolls, for a fraction of the work. With ground beef, cabbage, onion and vegetables; simmered in a rich tomato sauce in your slow cooker.
Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup
I love my Lazy Cabbage Rolls recipe, which is a deconstructed version of the original.
Saving time to get the classic flavour, it’s why I love to make One-Pot Lasagna Soup or Slow Cooker Easy Lasagna. Much less work and time than making the traditional variety.
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 soup warms your belly and soul, a true comforting meal.
Crock Pot Cabbage Roll Soup Ingredients
This cabbage roll soup recipe has cabbage and ground beef, and several servings of vegetables. It has a tomato based broth, and the perfect blend of spices. Everything together gives this soup it’s amazing taste.
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, a simple yet perfect side. And great for dipping!
How Long is Cabbage Roll Soup Good For?
Once completely prepared, this soup can last in a sealed container, in the refrigerator for three to four days.
If you want it 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, 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.
This Cabbage Roll Soup is one of my family favourite meals, and a regular in our rotation. Comforting, hearty and warm – enjoy this recipe as we certainly do!

Cabbage rolls are 1 of my favorite foods of all time. It being soup season, this sounds like a miracle and a bowl.
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
I don’t like cabbage at all but the rest looks delicious, perhaps I could substitute something else instead – suggestions welcome. Cauliflower and broccoli both would go to mush I suspect.
Bruna says
Try using Napa cabbage. It’s sweeter and not thick.
I use it for cabbage soup. That is the cabbage I used for this soup.
Tammi says
Thanks for the tip Bruna! I don’t recall seeing this type in stores but I’ll be looking for it now! 🙂

Doris Humber says
I am always looking for new recipes to try in my crock pot. This sounds like a delicious meal!
Mayr says
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!
Tammi says
For sure!
Terri says
I was also wondering when is the stock added?
Tammi says
Gah! Good catch, it’s been updated! 🙂
Brian Wall says
I am in love! This sounds perfect for this dreary, wet snow, slushy day
Pat says
Really Really good passing this recipe on to twin sister So Easy. Thanks
Paula says
Please update your net carb amount,it would not be zero. 24 if the other numbers are correct.
Tammi says
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! 🙁
Marsha Lavoie says
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
Tammi says
Yep, the cabbage in step 2 with ‘the vegetables’ 🙂
