Baked cabbage rolls remind me of a dish that my grandmother used to cook. While I enjoy the flavors, I dislike the amount of effort required. It can take all day to boil the cabbage, make the filling, wrap everything up, and then bake it! This cabbage roll soup has all of the tastes of the classic dish, but just takes a fraction of the time to prepare.
