Stuffed Cabbage Recipe with Tomato Soup

  • 8 large cabbage leaves
  • 1 lb ground meat (beef, pork, or a combination)
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can (14 oz) tomato soup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

  1. In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the cabbage leaves for about 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the ground meat, cooked rice, onion, garlic, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Take one cabbage leaf and place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center. Roll the leaf over the filling, tucking in the sides, to form a neat package. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
  4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the stuffed cabbage rolls and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
  5. In a separate saucepan, combine the tomato soup and water. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Transfer the cabbage rolls to the saucepan with the tomato soup. Cover and let them simmer in the soup for about 30-40 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors meld together.
