Stuffed Cabbage Soup

January 27, 2015 by Katie Leave a Comment

Winter has certainly hit NJ in the last few days.  We even had some snow.  Yes, just some snow.  Not a blizzard, like every weatherman said we would.  Instead, we woke up to a few inches of snow.  It was enough to give me a snow day today though, which I am always grateful for!

To me, the best way to warm up from the cold is by having a steaming hot bowl of soup.  Yum.  I decided (with a little pinspiration) to take a dish that I love but that is somewhat tedious and time-consuming to make and turn it into a soup.  This Stuffed Cabbage Soup has all of the flavors of the traditional cabbage roll, but is much easier (and quicker) to make.  I omitted the ground beef from the original recipe and went with just ground pork.  I added lots of flavor with ingredients like V8, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste.  If you’re a fan of cabbage rolls, you must try this soup!
