Delicious hearty soup that is super easy to make and a quick fix/alternative for those craving stuffed cabbage. This has all the same flavor and takes very little prep work. I use a pressure cooker and make in 20 min of cooking time. Notes for crockpot or cooking on burner are included below. Will add photo later!

How To Make winter potato cabbage soup

  • 1
    In the soup pot or electric pressure cooker you are using, add a splash of olive oil. (If you are cooking in a crock pot, do this step in a frying pan. Then add to crock pot.) Add the bacon, onions and garlic to the pot and saute for a couple minutes. Add the hamburger meat and continue until the hamburger is just browned. You want the hamburger meat to break into small chunky pieces. Don't break down more than that.
  • 2
    To the pot, add all the rest of the ingredients. Don't add any extra liquid besides the chicken stock and the juice that comes with the diced canned tomatoes. The cabbage will be heaping a bit above the stock, but it will cook down and it creates a lot of liquid on its own. Stir the ingredients so all mixed evenly.
  • 3
    If using a soup pot on burner, cover and simmer soup for 3 hours stirring occasionally. If using crock pot, you can use a short setting or long setting based, your preference. I prefer to use an electric pressure cooker. I set the time to 20 minutes, and then soup is ready.
  • 4
    Serve with a dollup of sour cream in the middle and a dash of dill.
