Cabbage Roll Soup with Beef

Everyone reaches for chicken soup during the cold winter season. But I’m here to argue that a soup loaded with protein and veggies is the way to go. Keep that chicken soup in your rotation and add this Cabbage Soup Recipe right along with it.

If you aren’t into ground beef you can make this with chicken, turkey or ham. This soup can also be easily made vegan by using vegetable broth and omitting the beef altogether.

Is Cabbage Okay On Keto

Yes, cabbage is high in fiber and low in carbs. This soup is Keto-friendly and low carb. If following a strict Keto diet the carbs can be reduced by omitting the carrot and decreasing the amount of tomatoes.

Is Cabbage Soup Good For Weight Loss

I would say yes it is. This soup in particular is high in fiber, protein and loaded with healthy vegetables.

While I’m not a fan of diets that would have me eating nothing but cabbage soup, this soup is a great addition to a healthy diet. It is also great for colds. I had a cold a few weeks back and this soup is what got me through it.

  1. Hello,

    Thanks for this Keto friendly-carb combination. This type of meals are the best for you. We should always have reason to at least choose recipe that we can afford and at the same time nutritious.

  2. I made this tonight and it is wonderful. I followed the directions but had to add 2 cups of water. This was about 7 to 8 quarts of soup. Is this correct for a total of 8 servings?

  3. About how many fluid ounces is one serving? And how lean was the ground beef you used for the nutritional information listed?

  4. What’s the actual serving size? It says 1 serving but it does not say how much? Like example 1 cup is 1 serving

  5. Very good easy soup and keto friendly! Lots of good nutrients in it and fiber! Was yummy. Had to add 8 oz.water

  6. We made this tonight and it was outstanding!! I added a little kale and a 1/4 Tspn of cayenne. Also I used a good beef broth – Fire and Kettle. Thank you for the great idea – we’ll be eating this for a couple of days.

  7. I made this easy soup tonight and it was delicious. I love the brown mustard in it.

  8. I made this today as I had to use up alot of the veggies! Was so good! I put a little bit of parm cheese on top when done, and made myself keto bread in a mug and it was such a delish lunch/dinner. Thanks!

  9. Hi! I made this soup today, after adding the cabbage I had to cook for an hour before the cabbage was cooked. Your post said 10-15 minutes. I’m wondering what I did wrong. BTW the soup was delish .
