    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?

    I love this recipe! I subbed out the rice for cauliflower rice and it was still fabulous!

    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 😂

      Red wine vinegar will work! Apple cider vinegar is also nice!
