Hearty Stuffed Cabbage Soup (Halupki Soup) image

I always liked stuffed cabbage and have seen many recipes through the years for "Stuffed Cabbage Casserole" as well as "Stuffed Cabbage Soup". I wanted to try my own version and came up with this recipe. It's a nice, hearty soup that will warm you up during the cold weather.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 lb ground beef (85/15)
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 packets beef flavored bouillon (from a 2.82 ounce pkg)
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
1 can(s) diced tomatoes, undrained (14.5 ounces)
1 28 ounce can tomato sauce
1 container beef stock (32 ounces)
1 can(s) beef broth (14.5 ounces)
4 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 c cooked brown rice (1 cup uncooked)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Brown meat in a 4-5 quart Dutch oven over medium high heat. Do not drain.
  • 2. Add onion, garlic and bouillon. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes or until onion starts to soften.
  • 3. Add the cabbage. Mix well. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until cabbage wilts.
  • 4. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef stock, beef broth, sugar, vinegar and rice. Mix well to combine. Cover and cook an additional 10-12 minutes to combine flavors.
  • 5. NOTE: Instead of using the bouillon and brown rice, sometimes I use a box of beef flavored Rice-a-Roni instead ...... (replace beef broth with water)..... add in step 4 and cook a bit longer until rice and vermicelli are cooked thru ....
