Unstuffed cabbage soup with the flavors of cabbage rolls all made in the slow cooker for a easy and delicious low carb dinner recipe on a weeknight.
The cooler brisk mornings, extra sweater layers to keep warm and book reading under a cozy blanket is telling me that Fall is here.
There are a few things that I begin craving at this time of year.
Pumpkin – Low Carb Pumpkin Pie, Low Carb Pumpkin Pancakes
SOUP – Everything from our Low Carb Risotto Bolognese Soup to our Low Carb Chicken Soup. Adding this unstuffed cabbage roll soup to the soup rotation is a MUST.
This cabbage soup satisfies all those warm cozy cravings along with keeping our lazy cooking habits content. It’s what I like to call the ‘dump and forget it’ cooking method.
My favorite way to cook! You’ll be super pleased once you realize how fabulously low carb this soup is as well!
HOW MANY NET CARBS FOR Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Soup
2 Net Carbs per serving when you split the entire cabbage soup recipe into 12 servings of soup.
Shut the front door, right?! This filling soup is amazing on all front.
My husband eats about 2 servings of this unstuffed cabbage soup but that being just 4 net carbs for a meal is pretty spectacular.
How this Unstuffed Cabbage Soup became
If you are one of those people who grew up on cabbage rolls this is going to satisfy all those cravings.
I use to make the classic cabbage rolls on a yearly basis just because it was a family tradition. I began to get lazy though and the one thing that I HATED was dealing with rolling the actual cabbage roll. I love the flavor but none of that extra rolling work.
This unstuffed cabbage roll soup came into existence when that laziness went into full swing. I’ve never looked back and hope you love it as much as we do!

Can you freeze it?
Yes! I’ve frozen this and had decent results myself.
I didn’t use cauliflower rice, but next time I will. I used white rice (I know…shame, shame), but this recipe turned out great. I did add a bit more ACV and didn’t think it needed more salt, though my other half did. I also used ground turkey and added red cabbage. The ground turkey might be the reason my beau needed more salt OR it might be because I used low sodium broth. At any rate, I’ll definitely be making these again using the frozen riced cauliflower. Thanks for the recipe! I found it on Yummly.
So glad you enjoyed it! This recipe originally was with regular rice before we had to watch our carbs so yep both ways work! No shame here 🙂
Now that cooler weather is upon us again we need to add this dinner back into our rotation! 🙂
I would love to know how you got that each serving is 2 net carbs. I input the exact recipe into Carb Manager, and it’s outputting that 1/12th of the recipe is 6 net carbs. I ended up omitting the tomato sauce to reduce the carbs to 4 net carbs per serving. I don’t know if you used a certain product for one of the ingredients that reduced the amount of carbs, but I’d appreciate any tips on how you got it down to 2 net carbs.
Hi Carolie! Yes it really depends on the nutrition information calculator and ingredients they use on those to get the results. I wish I could tell you exactly what the difference between one calculator to another is but it’s so different. Its possible the one you are using uses tomato sauce with added sugar? We don’t use Carb Manager to calculate our recipes (it’s a nutrition calculator a part of our recipe cards) so it just might be slight differences between the ingredients of each.
How many cups or ounces per serving? This recipe says 12 servings. Is this 1 cup equals one serving?
I do not know what the cups our ounces for the serving. It is splitting the recipe into 12 equal servings. Nutrition info is for 1/12th of the recipe.
So you need to set up 12 bowls and divide the whole pot then separate 1 bowl and return the remaining amount back to the pot.
Hmmmmm?
Each time? How did you do it?
I’m sorry Darrell – not sure where the confusion is happening here. We divided the recipe nutrition info by 12. I’ve never gotten around to measuring when we make this but can next time I do. We are meal-preppers ourselves so between the husband and I we’ve evenly divided this into servings in our bowls. To make things easier for you I’d recommend that you can multiply the nutrition by 12 and then whatever YOU divide the recipe into divide it by that number and you would have your nutrition info and carb counts for the servings you’ve got. Hope this helps.
What is uncooked cauliflower rice? Does it come in a bag?
Yes! It is generally found in the freezer section already ‘riced’. OR you can make your own by pulsing cauliflower in the food processor until it resembles rice and follow then recipe accordingly.
