How to Cook Halupki Stuffed Cabbage Roll Soup (Step-by-Step Photos)

Come cook with me!

For my visual friends, here’s a photo Cook Along of this soup recipe.

Cook ground beef, onion, and garlic

Cook ground meat in olive oil for 4-5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add chopped onion and garlic until soft.

Add bay leaf and brown sugar

Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer

Toss everything else in! The cabbage, broth, tomato sauce, rice and carrots. I didn’t have any carrots, so I didn’t add them. No big deal imo.

Simmer for at least 25 minutes until the rice and cabbage are tender.

Adjust seasoning (salt / pepper) as needed!

Enjoy your cozy stuffed cabbage roll soup!

Dinner at the Zoo Cabbage Roll Soup Recipe Review

This was a great and easy recipe to make and there’s nothing like soup to comfort you on a chilly day. But honestly, I would eat soup for any meal, any day of the year. 🙂  

Adjustments: Next time I think I would sauté the cabbage a bit before adding the broth and tomato sauce.
