Golabki Soup (Cabbage Roll Soup)

I have no idea what took me so long to make this Golabki Soup (Cabbage Roll Soup) recipe. Since the first time I made this, my Mom and I have been eating it more than we should probably admit. It is so easy, inexpensive, and low-carb to boot!  Golabki, pronounced (gaw-WOHMP-kee), has always been a family favorite of mine from childhood. They go by many names around the globe, and most nations and cultures have their own version. A friend of mine comes from a Hungarian background, and he insists they must be served with raw carrots and banana peppers. I promised him I would give that twist a try sometime.

This recipe is based on the version that I grew up with. Sour cream is not optional; it makes it! I replaced the rice with cauliflower and went easy on the tomatoes to keep the carbs and sugar lower.

This recipe makes a huge batch, enough to serve a small army. We had no problem eating it throughout the week for lunch, okay, and maybe even breakfast. I know that might be a little weird, but whatever, I liked it that much! I served it over a bit of rice for the kids and they liked it too. Anyways, I hope you love this recipe as much as we do, and it makes it into your monthly rotation.
