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.

Made your Keto/Low Carb Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Soup {Instant Pot or Crock Pot} but didn’t have parsley or aminos so I just added a half a can of Rotel tomatoes turn out good. Thank you for for your recipes.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Best keto soup I have made, I didn’t have the broth, so I used water and better than beef boullion, which is salty, so I eliminated extra salt. I have made this twice, and it will be a weekly go to recipe.
That is awesome!
My husband and I really loved it. I didn’t have the Braggs Amino so used soy sauce. I added some hot pepper flakes as well for some bite. It was delish and appreciate the nutritional values you listed as well. We will be making this often! Thank YOU so much!!
You’re so welcome, Angie. Glad you and hubby enjoyed it.
I plan on trying this in the microwave in a rice cooker. If these amounts don’t fit, I will just make a smaller amount as there is only myself to feed. I am always looking for ways to use fresh cabbage and this will be a great one!
That’s great!
This soup is so good!! My husband and I loved it, I wouldn’t change a thing 😊
That’s awesome! I’m glad ya’ll loved it.
Great recipe….I did not add aminos….but crushed red pepper gave it fantastic flavor!!
Fantastic!
Another winner, Kasey!!! We had this for dinner tonight !!! So good and so easy !!!
I made this exactly as the recipe states, which is not my norm. It was amazing, just as written.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
i have a ninja 7 in 1 foodie but has no soup function can i just pressure cook
I’m no sure. I haven’t tried making it on a different setting.
update for anybodys info that is wondering pressure cook on the ninja foodie is the same as soup mode on instapot i tries it last night and worked out great delishes recipe
I would love to make this today but I do not have aminos. What is a good substitute and measurement?
It’s a healthier version of soy sauce.
Made this last night for dinner with a few modifications (just 1 lb of 85/15 burger, 1/2 a head of cabbage, low sodium soy sauce, and 4 C unsalted beef broth) and it was awesome! Both the hubby and I loved it. Definitely a keeper! So easy to make and plenty of leftovers.
Great! So glad you both enjoyed it.
This Unstuffed Keto Cannage Roll soup is spectacular! I’ve made it numerous times. The recipe is perfect as is, however, for an over the top touch, add around 1/4 cup of heavy cream. I double this recipe because I’m happy to have leftovers. It freezes well.
That sounds delish. Thanks for the tip!
This is always a favorite recipe that is in our weekly Keto rotation. I do like to add my own little touches to this great recipe such as fennel, basil, and a bay leaf. I had never used Coconut Aminos until I discovered this recipe and believe me it’s truly a game changer and gives the broth a lot of depth. I also think the pressure cooker is key because I’ve prepared a similar recipe on the stove and the taste is 100% more developed using the Instant Pot. Thank you Kasey for this wonderful recipe!
Awesome. So glad you enjoy it.
Delicious and easy to make!
Great! So glad you loved it!
This recipe sounds awesome, just a quick question can I use tomato paste instead of tomato sauce.
Tomato paste is much thicker and stronger than tomato sauce. I’ve only made it with tomato sauce so I can’t say if it’s possible to somehow make tomato paste work. You’d have to use way less.
