CABBAGE FIESTA SOUP
Cabbage fiesta soup can be made in the crock pot or on top of the stove.
This cabbage fiesta soup is great comfort food and a delicious soup. This soup is wonderful with the bread in the photo. (See link below for bread recipe) or make some cornbread muffins because they go great, too. We like this soup anytime and I make it often for my family. This soup keeps well refrigerated and is just as good for several days when reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
Cabbage fiesta soup ingredients needed:
Ground beef
Minced garlic
Cabbage
Onion
Diced tomatoes
Tomatoes with green chilis
Water
Cheddar cheese soup
Kidney beans
Frozen cut corn (can use one can, drained)
Green pepper
Black pepper
Salt to taste
This soup is great for any gathering too. You can easily double the recipe and serve this to a lot of people. Simple to throw together and it has a great flavor!
RECIPE FEEDBACK: “Everyone enjoyed the Cabbage Fiesta Soup ! One of the member’s husband had a bowl and said that she needed to get the recipe from me. I referred her to the site! The Southern Lady Cooks!!!!” – Billie
“I made this last night with a twist or two and we loved it !! I used ground sausage instead of ground beef. I also threw in a couple new potatoes chopped, a can of butter beans, and chopped a few carrots. It was truly heaven in a bowl!!!” – Debi
“We just finished ours and it was soo good. I cooked it on the stove on low for 2 hours.” -Karen
You could easily make many variation so this soup! Make it with ground turkey or ground chicken, add any spices you love like cumin, chili powder and smoked paprika. All soups are super versatile and we love to try new things.
Cabbage Tip: Green and Savoy cabbage is best to use in cooked recipes. Red cabbage is best raw and napa cabbage is best raw or stir fried. Bok choy is good sauteed.

Made it tonight with sausage! It is delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Added cumin, chili powder and diced jalapeños for added flavor, good recipe.
I’m making this today for my meeting tonight, we’re doing three different kinds of soups. This is the one I’m doing, so I’ll have to comment later how everyone enjoyed ! I’ve already tasted it and it taste delicious!
Thanks Billie! Hope your meeting goes well and they like the soup.

Thank you so much Billie! So happy they liked it and thank you for letting me know. Have a great week.
Drop in a jar of Canned Deer meat … Hmm Hmmm good
Bet you can spice it up a bit with some sausage vs ground beef – cabbage and sausage are a great mix!
It’s a snowy-icy-windy day here in Lawrenceburg, KY but I braved the elements and made a quick trip to Kroger for a few ingredients I needed. My Cabbage Fiesta Soup is now in the crockpot. Will let you know later how the family likes it. (But no way it could top your Woodford Pudding recipe, hmmm, wonder if I have all those ingredients? Maybe another trip to Kroger is in my near future, man that would be good finish to a hot bowl of soup supper, wouldn’t it? Where’s my boots?LOL) Thanks Judy, everything I’ve ever made from your recipes was delicious.
my favorite soup!
I think I will try to make a cheese sauce, like the sauce for mac and cheese. It’s just a white sauce with cheese melted in it. I’m thinking the cheese soup acts as a thickener, and the sauce would do the same, if it is thick enough. Maybe cook the flour/butter and add just enough milk to loosen the roux so that the cheese can melt in. Hmmmm…. thoughts?
I added tubettini pasta to mine. Yum
How long would you cook it for on the stove?
About 30 minutes. Long enough for the cabbage to cook.
We just finished ours and it was soo good. I cooked it on the stove on low for 2 hrs
So happy you enjoyed the soup recipe, Karen.
I feel the same way Mary H.and was was wondering if I could shred some cheddar cheese with a bit of milk and melt in a double broiler.
I made this & it was good but I used light colored beans & did’nt draine the corn or the beans and used a little more water and garlic. I think next time I will use the sausage and butter beans which I love and a few carrots too. Thanks Debi Chowning for the idea.
I made this last night with a twist or two and we loved it !! I used ground sausage instead of ground beef. I also threw in a couple new potatoes chopped, a can of butter beans, and chopped a few carrots. It was truly heaven in a bowl !!!
Looks yummy! Can’t wait to try it!
What size crock pot? I have a 4, is that OK?
Yes, Carolyn, if you mean 4 quart that is fine.
this sounds like the cabbage soup served at Shoney’s Restaurant, which I absolutely love! I don’t think theirs has the cheese, but that would be a nice touch.
This looks wonderful, Judy, especially for the cloudy and colder winter days we’ve been having lately. Amazingly, we still have a cabbage or two left in the garden!
This sounds great! Winter is the perfect time for soup. I like it all year round but something about the cold outside just makes soup better!
I love cabbage and kidney beans together. Looks wonderful.
No doubt, this is a very healthy soup. Looks great – so glad you shared. Thanks for all the inspiration you give.
