Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup
I must admit that I didn’t think cabbage roll soup would be that good. I was convinced that the cabbage would be smelly (I’m picturing the cabbage soup diet) and that it wouldn’t be flavorful or satisfying. I am so glad that I was DEAD WRONG. This soup was satisfying, flavorful, and very appetizing. The cabbage was my favorite part of this soup. It was the perfect texture. Next time I’ll add in a bit more!
I also must admit that I’ve never had cabbage rolls in my life. At least that I can remember. Now I’m totally tempted to try them in the slow cooker. I LOVED the combination of flavors in this recipe. My daughter, son, son’s friend and husband all did too. This recipe is a keeper for sure. Add the ingredients to your shopping list and try it this week!

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?
To make Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup I used I used my Ninja Auto-iQ 6 Quart Slow Cooker.* My favorite feature of this slow cooker is that it has a stove top function. This is perfect for browning the beef and onions before slow cooking the soup!

This looks great. I’m going to try it with brown rice. Also, is there any way to reduce the sodium.
Thanks,
Carol
I would use any low sodium products/no salt added you can find.
Thank you.

Yes! Here are all my slow cooker recipes: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/recipes/?fwp_method=slow-cooker
My rice turned into mush. I followed the instructions. Not sure why it turned out so badly.
Sorry to hear this! What kind of slow cooker did you use? What size was it? How long did you cook the soup for? Perhaps use brown rice next time.
I have the same ninja you used and cooked for 7 hours on low.
Brown rice might be a better choice. Or you could cook for less time.
Can you use brown rice? ?
You could use brown minute rice for a shorter cooking time or regular brown rice for a longer cooking time.
