Unstuffed Keto Cabbage Soup {Instant Pot, Crock-Pot, or Stove-Top Directions}
This Unstuffed Keto Cabbage Soup is bold, hearty, and filling. You can make it in the Instant Pot if you are in a hurry or let it simmer all day in a Crock-Pot. Being able to enjoy eating a keto cabbage roll but in an easy soup recipe while letting your crockpot do all the work makes this a super simple low carb recipe.
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 Pot, Crock-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.

Unstuffed Keto Cabbage Soup Instant Pot Recipe step-by-step pictorial.
For the full recipe, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post with the full instructions.
Step 1: Turn Instant Pot on Sauté and brown ground beef with diced onions and garlic, then drain. I use an 80/20 mixture of ground beef.
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.
HOW MANY CARBS IN KETO CABBAGE SOUP?
In this recipe for Unstuffed Cabbage Soup, there are 6.4g carbs and 2.1g of fiber, which makes it 4.3g net carbs per 1 cup serving.
WHAT IS BRAGG’S AMINOS?
Bragg’s Aminos is a healthier version of soy sauce that gives an incredibly bold flavor to this Unstuffed Low Carb Cabbage Soup recipe. If you avoid soy, then you’ll want to go with coconut aminos instead.
VARIATIONS TO THIS RECIPE:
- Add Riced Cauliflower
- Sprinkle cooked crumbled bacon on top for added crunch and flavor
- Substitute ground turkey for ground beef
WHAT DO YOU SERVE WITH UNSTUFFED KETO CABBAGE SOUP?
With hearty ground beef, tomatoes, and cabbage, this low carb unstuffed cabbage soup is filling enough on its own. However, if you prefer to enjoy a little something with your soup, a nice leafy garden salad rounds out a perfect low carb meal.
What Instant Pot Should You Use For this Crockpot Cabbage Roll Soup?
I have the Instant Pot Duo60 7-in-1 Instant Pot, but any electric pressure cooker will work just fine.

I made this today and i absolutely loved it!!! Thanks Kasey!!!
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
This sounds like something I need to try. I really like The recipe for this soup is truly unique.
Hope you enjoy it!
So how many ounces would a small/medium head of cabbage be?
I don’t know. I just look at the ones that are available at the grocery store and choose a small to medium one.
Got this in my crockpot and can’t wait to have it tonight! How good is this freezing? I was thinking o feezeing half it so I can use another time.
I’m sure it would be fine, but I haven’t tried freezing it.
This is the third recipe from your collection that I have tried this week. I made the chili, the roast and tonight the unstuffed cabbage roll soup. Everyone of these is a keeper. So much flavor. Who knew you could do KETO and eat such tasty food Will be trying more. Thank you
So glad you have loved all of the recipes you’ve tried. Thank you!

Very good! I used Jimmy Dean hot sausage to give it a little kick. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks for the recipe!
Awesome! Glad you liked it. My hubs would love the spicy sausage too!!
***** This is the best Unstuffed Cabbage Soup I have ever made. The liquid aminos adds so much flavor.
I don’t like tomatoes. Is it ok to add other vegtables. Will it still be ok without.
I’m not sure I have only made this recipe as is.
I’m reading reviews again. I’m sure recipe says 1/4 cup of Bragg Amino. But I see people saying they used a Tablespoon. Huh? I’m stuck on the 3 t worschester sauce, which 3 t is actually same as 1 T. I’ve always used Bragg Amino in place of worschester and/or soy sauce. Just small minor details?
I’m sure the Bragg will be plenty and I’m tempted to pour in the rest of the beef broth. What to do with the one cup left from a quart??? A stickler for details. LOL.
Love your recipes. especially the nut crusts for the strawberry pie which I added some whole blackberries and red raspberries into, beautiful when slicing. I detest almond and coconut flour texture! SO huge thanks!!
Glad you enjoy! Thanks, PJ.
Terrific recipe! I added a bit of water—about 3/4 cup—to make more broth, but this is a very satisfying soup on a cold winter day!
Glad you enjoyed it.
how many carbs for what amount!
Hey, Gloria, all nutritional info is on or below the recipe card.
I can’t find Bragg’s Aminos, where do you find it? Are there any substitutes for it?
https://amzn.to/2LWxwIE
I buy it in the grocery store.
This is wonderful! I’ve made it twice now. The 2nd time I eliminated the salt as it’s too salty. The Liquid Aminos already give it the saltiness.
Glad you enjoyed, Donna!
