    Ingredients You'll Need

    An overhead shot of the ingredients for Instant Pot Cabbage Roll Soup
    • Olive oil. To saute the veggies in.
    • Onions and carrots. Cut into small pieces.
    • Lean ground beef. I like to use 85/15 or 93/7 for soups.
    • Beef broth. You can use homemade or premade. Low sodium is best so the soda is not too salty.
    • White rice. Uncooked rice so the rice does not overcook.
    • Cabbage. Depending on the size of the cabbage, you might need a whole head of cabbage or a half of a head.
    • Tomato sauce. One 8 ounce can.
    • Diced tomatoes. For more tomato flavor.
    • Worcestershire Sauce. For a depth of flavor.

    Equipment To Gather

    • Instant Pot- You'll need at least a 6 quart Instant Pot or the soup won't fit.
    • Cutting Boards
    • Knives
    • Ladle

    How To Make Instant Pot Cabbage Roll Soup

    Turn the Instant Pot on "saute". Add the olive oil and the ground beef to the bottom of the pot. Break up the beef into small pieces and let the beef cook for 3-4 minutes.

    While the beef cooks, remove the outer cabbage leaves and discard them. Cut the cabbage into small pieces. You will want 4 cups of cabbage pieces.

    Cut the onion and carrots into small pieces. Add the chopped onions and carrots to the Instant Pot and saute for 2 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients. Turn the saute function off and put the cover on the Instant Pot.

    Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 15 minutes. Let the Instant Pot natural release for another 15 minutes. Quick release the rest of the pressure and stir the soup. Serve with sour cream and fresh parsley.

    Tips and Tricks

    • The Instant Pot will take 8-10 minutes to come up to pressure depending on how cold the broth is.
    • Be very careful when releasing the pressure of the soup as some of the broth may come up from the knob on the top of the lid.
    • Do not overfill the Instant Pot. Each Instant Pot has a line on it saying how high to fill it.

    Variations

    • Change up the rice! If you don't want to use white rice, use brown rice instead. Increase the cooking time to 25 minutes instead of 15 minutes.
    • Change up the meat! Feel free to use ground turkey, ground chicken, or a combination of ground pork and ground meat.
    • Change up the liquid! If you don't have beef broth, feel free to use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or 4 cup of water for the liquid.
    • Change up the tomato! If you don't have tomato sauce, you can use a can of tomato soup if 1 tablespoon of tomato paste.

    Store leftover unstuffed cabbage rolls soup in an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
