FAQS

    To make Cabbage Roll in a Bowl Soup, start by heating 2 tsp of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 lb of ground turkey, season with salt, pepper, and 0.5 tsp of garlic powder, and cook until browned for about 5-6 minutes. Then, add 4 cups of coarsely chopped green cabbage, 2 quartered and sliced carrots, 4 cups of chicken bone broth, 3 cans of 8-ounce tomato sauce, 0.5 cup of uncooked long-grain rice, 1 bay leaf, 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, and 0.25 tsp of red pepper flakes.

Don't forget to remove the bay leaf before serving!

  2. Is Cabbage Roll in a Bowl Soup suitable for a low-carb diet?

    Cabbage Roll in a Bowl Soup is not specifically low-carb due to the inclusion of rice. However, you can easily make it more compatible with a low-carb diet by substituting the long-grain rice with cauliflower rice or omitting it altogether. This will reduce the carbohydrate content while still providing a hearty and satisfying meal.

  3. What can I use as a substitute for ground turkey in this soup recipe?

    If you don't have ground turkey on hand or prefer a different protein, you can substitute it with ground chicken, lean ground beef, or even plant-based ground meat alternatives for a vegetarian option. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly based on the protein you choose.

  4. How should I store leftover Cabbage Roll in a Bowl Soup?

    To store leftover Cabbage Roll in a Bowl Soup, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Just remember to thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.

  5. What are some good side dishes to serve with Cabbage Roll in a Bowl Soup?

    Cabbage Roll in a Bowl Soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal. You might also consider serving it with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor. A simple garlic bread or a light coleslaw can also complement the soup nicely.
