[Couldn't access a Slovak Carpathian-Rus Recipe for Cabbage Soup requested in another thread, but in searching for it, I saw this one sounding delicious.]

1. Sounds delicious!

Ty for sharing!

[sprinkleeninow]

2. Yes, it do! Welcome...

[SheltieLover]

3. Seems to be a shortage of those beans near me.

Weird place here (TN).

I've been thinking about making stuffed cabbage soup & tossing in some kidnet beans just for something a bit different.

[sprinkleeninow]

4. You prolly could substitute navy beans for the cannellini beans.

[SheltieLover]

5. I looked for those, too. 😏

This place is so strange...

Ty for the suggestion, though!

[sprinkleeninow]

6. Do you like lima beans? I think a soft bean would do the trick.

Although kidney beans wouldn't break down as the others.

Did you say you were adding some sausage or meat?

[SheltieLover]

7. Thx!

Likely very lean ground turkey.

[sprinkleeninow]

8. That's a super choice for the meat. Sounding scrumptious!

[SheltieLover]

9. It is!

Have you ever had stuffed cabbage soup?

Brown meat, with onions & garlic.

Add large can crushed tomatoes & small can diced tomatoes.

Cut up a head of cabbage & toss in pot.

Cook till cabbage is tender.

Some folks toss in some cooked rice, but I'm carb restricted (along with fat & sugar so no rice for me. Lol)

Yummy, quick, easy & relatively inexpensive. 👍

On edit: 32 oz fat free beef broth (Aldi has this.).

10. Never had the soup version. Just the actual stuffed cabbage rolls.

I read a recipe earlier. The taste of stuffed cabbage without the prep. Noice!

Now Imma gonna be needing to make it soon! Nippy weather is starting.

[SheltieLover]

11. Tastes exactly like the stuffed cabbage rolls, without all the work, you're right!

This is what I've been contemplating adding some beans to.

Seems I've developed a bit of an iron deficiency since swearing off beef & pork & beans are loaded (plus great for cholesterol, etc.).

Not sure which beans would be best in the soup though.

Thoughts? Tyia!

[sprinkleeninow]

12. I mentioned navy beans which are small. I think I really meant Great Northern Beans.

Just saw on the Google that Walmart has like 3-4 kinds of white beans in a can.

There's a Walmart around your place?

[SheltieLover]

13. Yes. Sadly Walmart & Kroger are the only choices for groceries here, besides Aldi (my fav!)

But no white beans. Not even dried ones. Weird. Lol

14. Cabbage Roll Soup

I made this a few days ago, and the two jars I froze for later are already gone. It’s so easy and scrumptious. Perfect comfort food. It occurred to me that beans would be good in it too.
