CROCK POT CABBAGE ROLL SOUP

By Dr. Cindy Tanzar

If you like cabbage rolls, then you will really enjoy this hearty crock pot soup version. Just take about 15 minutes to put it all together, then just walk away. There is also an option for cooking on the stove top. Using a jar of marinara sauce makes this dish even easier. In just a few short hours, not only will your house smell divine, but you will have a very comforting soup awaiting you when you walk through the door for dinner. We replaced the traditional rice usually found in cabbage soup with cauliflower rice for a weight-loss friendly version. You can lessen or omit the amount of “rice” if you like your soup with more broth versus vegetables.
