Golabki Soup (Cabbage Roll Soup)

I have no idea what took me so long to make this Golabki Soup (Cabbage Roll Soup) recipe. Since the first time I made this my Mom and I have been eating it more than we should probably admit. It is so easy, inexpensive, and low carb to boot!  Golabki, pronounced (gaw-WOHMP-kee), has always been a family favorite of mine from childhood. They go by many names around the globe and most nations and cultures have their own version. A friend of mine comes from a Hungarian background and he insists they must be served with raw carrots and banana peppers. I promised him I will give that twist a try sometime.

This recipe is based on the version that I grew up with. Sour cream is not optional, it makes it! I replaced the rice with cauliflower and went easy on the tomatoes to keep the carbs and sugar lower.

This recipe makes a huge batch, enough to serve a small army. We had no problem eating it throughout the week for lunch, okay and maybe even breakfast. I know that might be a little weird but whatever, I liked it that much! This is easy enough to make it just takes a little time to cook everything down and let the flavors combine. I served it over a bit of rice for the kids and they liked it too, well not my youngest, he hates rice. I don’t know how that is even possible. Anyways, I hope you love this recipe as much as we do and it makes it into your monthly rotation. Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Hi, this is a soup similar in flavor to the cabbage rolls I grew up with. I use cauliflower rice to make it low carb friendly for our needs.

  1. This sounds delicious. Can frozen califlower rice be used instead of the fresh and if so, how many bags of the frozen would you reccomend?

    1. I never tried but I would probably use one bag 10-12 (ounces). The soup is versatile so I’m sure it will he fine!
