HOW TO MAKE KETO CABBAGE ROLL SOUP

I need quick dinners, which usually means Crock-pot meals or putting my Instant Pot to work. Since it has been cooler lately, I’ve been in the mood for soup. My favorite part about soup is that it’s typically a one-pot meal. Also, most soup recipes make quite a bit of making lunch easier for the next couple of days.

This Unstuffed Cabbage Soup is keto/low carb friendly and can be made either in the Instant PotCrock-Pot, or stove. I’ve posted directions for each below for your convenience. This Unstuffed Cabbage Soup turned out fabulous. Adding the Bragg’s Aminos gave it such rich flavor without adding a lot of carbs. You can always add riced cauliflower to the recipe if you miss the rice, usually in cabbage rolls. I thought it turned out great as is.

Step 2: Add beef mixture back to the Instant Pot, then add all other ingredients. Place lid on Instant Pot and turn to lock position. Turn Instant Pot off Sauté by pressing the off button, press the soup bottom, and set the time for 15 minutes. Allow Instant Pot to come to pressure and complete the soup cycle.

Step 6: After the cycle is over, do a quick release of the steam valve. I always place a dishtowel on the valve, so it doesn’t spew hot steam on my hand.

    I made this using regular soy sauce. I’m not doing keto just wanted a recipe for my InstaPot. It needs more seasoning. Was a little bland for me. I will make it again but with some spice.

    1. Bragg’s Aminos has quite a bit more flavor than regular soy sauce to me. That being said, everyone’s taste buds are different feel free to spice it up how you prefer.

  2. This recipe looks good, the only thing I would do is not brown the onions and garlic before draining the fat from the ground beef as you are losing some of the flavor. Am going to try this very soon!

  3. This looks delicious, can’t wait to make it! Could this be adapted with stew meat and keep the same Instant Pot timing?

    1. Hey Robert, you could absolutely substitute the stew meat; however, I am not sure of the cook timing since I haven’t tried the recipe with stew meat. Let me know if you try it. I would love to hear about it!

    This is one of my favorite soups. If I am pressed for time, I use 2 bags of coleslaw mix. Freezes well if you have leftovers.

    1. Hey, Pattie, I haven’t tried it with home-canned tomatoes, but it should work. I grew up on fresh veggies from my Papa and Mama Knight’s garden. I have eaten my fair share of dishes with home-canned tomatoes. Let me know how it turns out.

    Just made this and it is soooo good. Did not have Bragg’s Aminos on hand so I used soy sauce and added some red pepper flakes and natures seasoning for some extra flavor. Will definitely make this recipe over and over again!

  6. I made this. Had some left over spag sauce. Used that instead of tomatoes. Fantastic I will make again
