Ingredients
  

Cabbage roll:

  • 2-3 lbs hamburger
  • 2-3 eggs
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 carrot grated
  • salt
  • pepper
  • onion soup mix optional

Soup:

  • 6 potatoes
  • 1-2 onions
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 4 - 5 carrots
  • 4 cans stewed tomatoes
  • 1 can whole tomatoes
  • 2-3 fresh tomatoes
  • 3 stalks of celery
  • 1 large head of cabbage
  • large pot

Instructions
 

  • Mix together in a bowl, the rice, hamburger, vegetables and eggs.
  • Season with pepper, salt or onion soup mix. Set aside.
  • Cut up potatoes, onions, bell pepper, carrots, and celery. Set aside.
  • Cut out the core of the cabbage. Set in a large bowl.
  • Pour boiling water over cabbage. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  • When water is cool enough to touch, start making the cabbage rolls.
  • Place about 2 tablespoons full of mixture into cabbage. My cabbage rolls usually look like cabbage balls.
  • I put the leafy closed ends facing down, to keep the mixture from opening up while cooking.
  • After all cabbage rolls/balls are in your pot, put all cut up vegetables on top of rolls/balls.
  • Next, pour tomatoes on top. For each can of tomatoes, I pour one can of water.
