If you don’t eat low carb, you can add a can of kidney beans and it tastes great with cornbread.
Ground turkey can be substituted for ground beef.
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days and can be frozen.
How Spicy Is This Soup?
If you use “Hot” Rotel tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, it has a moderate amount of heat. For more heat, double the amount of cayenne pepper or add 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.

Made this soup on the stove rather than the crockpot. We loved this soup, it is so flavorful and delicious. We will be making this often. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This recipe is delicious! I am going to cook it in my roaster. I’m 3 or 4 times the recipe
Perfect soup. Has it all and can freeze it for those quick yummy nights. Thank you.
I absolutely Love this soup! Perfect amount of spice and tons of flavor!
I make it quite often.
Cabbage is cooked perfectly with these times and temps. Pairs well with spice and tomato.
This soup has the perfect about of cabbage and heat for a colder day. Even hubby liked it and he isn’t big on cabbage.
I followed the recipe as close as I could. I live in Mexico so I do not have access to all the ingredients. I used a can of diced tomatoes, and added a half cup of chopped fresh tomatoes. We do not have Rotelle so I used a cup of canned jalapeรฑos. I used fresh chopped garlic, added into the hamburger for the last 30 seconds before adding it to the slow cooker. I added a half cup of chopped carrots also to add a little more vegetable earthy flavor. After cooking for a few hours I was not satisfied with the amount of liquid in the cooker so I added 2 cups of Clamato juice and a half cup of scotch whiskey. After the allowed cooking time I added the juice from 2 Mexican limes. The flavor was fantastic. Also I did not use cayenne pepper. I would recommend this recipe but with a few additions to suit your flavor interests..
This recipe is so easy and full of flavor! I did add some rice in the crockpot and it is delicious! Would definitely make this again!
When did you add rice?
My husband and I love this soup!
I donโt use a slow cooker I just make it on the stove top. I only simmer about 30 minutes as we like a little more texture to the cabbage. Sometimes I add some spicy sausage to the ground beef as well. So simple! So delicious! Satisfies hubbyโs spice cravings too.
