I do believe I have all the ingredients for this, if not a quick trip to the store will assure. My mouth is salivating as I type. Kevin, I’ve tried many of your recipes but I think this is my first post. Keep up the good work
I think a nice cornbread muffin or just cornbread would go very good with that soup
I made this soup and it was delicious! I’m trying to think of what I could pair with it? I don’t really do bread very often, so I’m just not sure what to have with it if anything?
Thank you for your recipe! I adapted to vegetarian and posted today. The meal was out of this world! Thank you again. LOVE!
Looks delicious I’m going to try it.
I love this recipe! I subbed out the rice for cauliflower rice and it was still fabulous!
Replacing the rice for cauliflower sounds great!
This soup is excellent! This will be added to my regular soup list. I went heavy on the dry spices and everything was wonderful.
This cabbage roll soup is SO delicious! It’s easy to make and full of flavor. Perfect for cold winter nights. I served this with dinner rolls hot out of the oven. I made it with 93% lean ground beef, making this super not only super filling and delicious, but super WW friendly with only 5 points on all three plans! Thank you for this winner dinner! PS. It reheats nicely with just a little added chicken broth, perfect lunch the next day!
My bad. I meant a little added beef broth when reheating for lunch the next day, not chicken broth 😂
I have been looking for soup just like this, Going to make this tonight for supper I hope it turns out is yummy and delicious as it looks!
Thank you so much!!
I want to know if you can use red wine vinegar, I have no balsamic.
Red wine vinegar will work! Apple cider vinegar is also nice!
