If you're a stuffed cabbage lover, then don't miss this recipe. No need to spend hours cooking the cabbage, rolling the cabbage rolls and messing up the kitchen. This is the closest thing to the real thing with no fuss, no mess, Just the "GREATEST" Try it, You'll love it. -
This tastes just like eating stuffed cabbage. I altered it a bit by using ground meat and garlic spices because my family likes to add garlic spices to regular stuffed cabbage and wanted the same taste. This was easy to make and a real winner in our house -
I cut the brown sugar in half to 1/4 cup. I used 93% lean chop meat...added one extra tablespoon of lemon...an extra pinch of salt...used crushed tomatoes instead of puree..and added some bay leaves...perfect!!!

5 stars because my picky husband loves it. However i did change it a bit. here is what i did<br/>1.5-2 lbs ground beef (not stew meat)<br/>1/2 head of med head of cabbage (I bought it cheap around st. patty's day)<br/>I didn't add the brown sugar- mainly because the hubs is a picky eater (gee I wonder where my oldest son gets it)<br/>I also added black pepper and celery salt to taste along with italian seasoning and bay leaf<br/><br/>It tastes great and is nice an think when it is done. especially good if you like casseroley type dishes. if you want it more soupy, add more broth.and/or tomato.<br/><br/>I've actually had this in my play book for quite some time, but just remebered to review it because I just made it twice in the last month.! -
We also found this a little bland and too sweet, but I think it is a good base to play with. I also used hamburger because that is what I use for my stuffed cabbage. Thanks for sharing!

YUM!!!! I made this just the other night and loved it! I used extra lean ground beef and NO brown sugar to make this a Core Weight Watchers soup. The grocery store had 10 oz bags of shredded cabbage and I had an extra cabbage in the fridge so I cut that one up in to pieces and added it to the soup. I liked that there were the thin shredded pieces and then the bigger pieces. I also used instant brown rice instead of white rice and a 28 oz can of San Marzano tomatoes which I cut up and added with the liquid....SO GOOD and VERY quick and easy!!!! -
Another keeper...I as well used ground beef...I used a can of whole tomatos (chopped) instead of puree...I included 4 cloves of minced garlic...I found the soup to be a bit sweet and slightly lacking in taste, for me, so I added two more TBSP of lemon juice and a small can of tomato paste...That did it for me...Turned out to be a hearty, tasty and filling soup...It won't be a stranger at my house... -
Delicious alternative to all the work of making cabbage rolls. I made it and shared it with my friends and family, and now they are asking for the recipe! Yum. I too, used ground beef instead of stew meat. Seemed to work just fine. I also used the rice that you microwave for 90 seconds, only I just opened the bag and dumped. Really easy.

I wish I could give this more than five stars. We made this four nights ago, and every night since then I have dreamed of having it again. The use of the coleslaw mix (vs. chopping up carrot and cabbages) is genius! In fact, I am no longer going to go through the trouble of making cabbage rolls because this had the exact taste as my cabbage rolls with only 15 minutes of actual prep/work time. You can't beat that! One change I made was to use ground beef instead of stew meat because that is what I use in my cabbage rolls and I was trying to replicate that taste. I liked the ground beef because every bite of soup had a little meat in it that way. Also, just to let everyone know...this soup is very sweet..so if you like that (and my family does) then use the recommended amount of brown sugar. If you don't like sweet tasting soups, then maybe cut back on the sugar. I wouldn't eliminate it because the sweet taste really complimented the other flavors in the soup. Either way, I cannot wait to make this again. Thank you SO MUCH for your contribution, Stephanie C.
