This Keto Cabbage Roll Soup is hearty and comforting, with all the classic flavors of a cabbage roll. Made with ground beef and ground pork, then slow simmered with beef stock, vegetables, herbs and spices.
Keto Cabbage Roll Soup
This keto cabbage roll soup is a brothy and comforting version of my deconstructed cabbage roll recipe. It makes a large batch, making it great for weekly meal prep and meal planning. It also freezes and reheats well. When we make it, I divide it into individual portions and freeze it for later.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Storage: Store leftover cabbage roll soup in the refrigerator for up to a week. Alternately, you can freeze the leftovers for up to 6 months.
- Reheating: I recommend reheating on the stove top. But you can also reheat this keto cabbage roll soup in the microwave.
- Add Cheese: while a cabbage roll doesn't traditionally have cheese, this soup is delicious topped with some fresh shaved parmesan or even shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Make it in the slow cooker: To convert this recipe to slow cooker, simply cook the ground beef and ground pork in a skillet, drain the excess grease, and then add it to the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. Cook it on low for 6 hours.

Can you freeze leftover soup?
Yes! Absolutely! The leftovers of the soup freeze incredibly well. In fact, since it makes such a big batch, I like to vacuum seal half and freeze it for another time.

I recently made this on a whim after searching for such a recipe. Absolutely fantastic! Quick, easy, budget-friendly. I love anything with Smoked Paprika, this being no exception. The smells filling my home were so good I couldn't wait to eat it. I gave some to a neighbor who also commented how good it smelled, and the reviews were raving taste wise. This is the real deal. I've been on a "bowl" kick for a few years and have recently turned to recipes just like this...traditional casserole dishes in a bowl eaten with a spoon...I find it way more comforting than from a baking dish. 10 stars...thank you...this will absolutely be on regular rotation.

I make this recipe frequently. Everyone loves it! I've used ground pork in place of beef as well. I always have cabbage on hand and absolutely love anything with smoked paprika.

This was a big hit! Super yummy! I didn't have cauliflower or ground pork. I just used ground beef and added celery and couple small splashes of white wine. It was so good! Definitely a make again!

Thanks for the great recipe. For convenience, we used one lb each of ground beef and pork sausage, and one 10 oz bag of frozen riced cauliflower.

Whole family loved this! We literally ate this for days & my family never eats leftovers!!!! I used Bare Bones brand beef bone broth, 1 lb beef & 1 lb ground pork & minced garlic from a jar (for convenience). I went light on the oregano (personal preference) & added a couple splashes of coconut aminos. This recipe will go on permanent rotation even when we aren’t doing whole30!

This soup is a home run! So delicious. Sweet and savory at the same time. I opted to add some hot pepper flakes for serving for a little kick, along with some parmesan cheese. Fantastic! Make this soup!
