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.

Do you know what I really appreciated about you? Serving sizes for soups and stews! Thank you very much. For example, it is a real pain to figure out how much 1/8 of a pot of chili is. I am relieved when I look at my dinner plan and see that it's a recipe from your site.

Crock Pot? . . . yes, I made a similar recipe with ground turkey instead of pork/beef. I cooked it for 3 hours on High. Delicious!
Melissa says
We made this soup last night for the first time and it was absolutely delicious!
The abundance of spices added layers of flavors and the cabbage was unexpectedly yummy. This recipe is now a new favorite of ours.....thank you! 🙂 Only edit was that we only used 1 can of diced tomatoes and no paste, for further reduced carbs.
Edith Faber says
I got riced cauliflower at Trader Joe's
Angela Schmidt says
This soup was excellent! I left out the cauliflower rice (too lazy) and didn't feel like it was missing. The spices were just right 🙂
Rose Hart says
Many grocery stores now carry frozen "steam in bag" riced cauliflower. Perfect for a lazy day!

Costco sells caulifower rice frozen - 4 bags of 20oz each.
Candace says
Loved this recipe, and so did my husband! He didn't even notice the the "deconstructed cabbage roll" soup had riced cauliflower! He thought it WAS rice! The flavor was on point and it was a nice hearty and filling soup for rainy days!
Thank you!

Does this soup freeze well?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Actually it freezes and reheats terrifically. When I am batch cooking, I make this and freeze the whole thing in batches.
karen says
I would like to freeze and add frozen cauliflower rice when reheating.
Cris says
Made this tonight ahead of the cold front moving in tomorrow and will take this to work to keep me warm. It's so good already! I can't wait to try it tomorrow when it's cold out and this warms me up from the inside!
