Everything you would find in a cabbage roll but in a soup, plus bonus – no rolling and tucking! This will feed 8 to 10 people and freezes beautifully. I’ve cooked the rice separately so that it doesn’t absorb the liquid, which is also better for leftovers.
This was awesome! I love stuffed cabbage but not all the work. This was every bit as good and made enough to share. Only thing I did different was a little more brown sugar as I like mine sweet and hot. Yummy!!!!
Hubby said it was awesome, i did forget the brown sugar and lemon wonder if he would have given it 5 stars if i had remembered.
