Ingredients
1 lb of ground beef
2 c. of water
1 (20 oz) jar of pasta sauce
3 ½ lbs of cabbage, cut into bite-size pieces
1 (10 oz) can of tomato soup
1 onion, chopped

How to make Cabbage Roll Soup
Step 1: Cook the rice for about 20 to 25 minutes until tender and well-cooked.
Step 2: Place the beef into a hot large soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until no longer pink. When done, drain and discard the grease.
Step 3: Into the beef, pour in 2 c water. Add the cooked rice, pasta sauce, tomato soup, cabbage, onion, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce. Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, adjust the heat to low or medium-low, then put the lid on. Let everything simmer until the cabbage is soft. This takes another 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 4: Ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Tips:
Add enough water to the soup until you reached your desired thickness.
You can add canned diced tomatoes if you prefer a little chunkier soup. Or add more tomato sauce if you want more tomatoes in your soup.
