Comforting and hearty, this easy Crockpot Cabbage Roll Soup is Whole30, keto, low carb, paleo, and gluten free!
This hearty, easy crockpot soup has all the flavor of classic cabbage rolls without the fuss of stuffing cabbage.
Plus, it's super affordable and doesn't require a bunch of fancy ingredients. Real food eating at its finest!
The unfussy way to make cabbage rolls
Cabbage rolls are certainly a classic. Last month, I posted a Whole30 recipe for traditional stuffed cabbage rolls and they easily climbed the ranks of my spouse's favorite meals.
One problem, though: I don't want to be rolling little cabbage rolls every single meal prep day. Every once in a while I'm down for that, but every single Sunday? No thanks.
Enter crockpot cabbage roll soup. You'll notice the ingredient list is almost the exact same as the classic recipe - the prep is just different.
As a result, you've got the same flavors of a cabbage roll casserole, with a simple sweet-and-sour sauce, but served deconstructed in a bowl. Can't beat that!
Ingredients for cabbage roll soup
As mentioned, the ingredient list for this soup is very similar to my classic low carb cabbage rolls.
You can make a couple adjustments if you'd like to, though.
First, the cauliflower rice can be adjusted to your tastes. If you want, leave it out entirely! Otherwise, you can always boost the amount of caulirice if you want more veggies.
I definitely like including the raisins, but it's truly not easy to find Whole30-friendly raisins. Here's a brand on Amazon, but they're a little pricey. You can skip the raisins entirely if you'd like.
Best slow cooker for cabbage roll soup
Clearly, you need a slow cooker for this low carb cabbage roll soup. Any slow cooker will do!
That said, here's my favorite in case you're in the market for a new slow cooker. Or you could go with the ever-popular Instant Pot, which also has slow cooker functionality.
