Best Instant Pot Cabbage Roll Soup Recipe :This soup boils quickly and easily in an instant pot! It tastes just like cabbage rolls without all the hassle, especially when topped with sour cream and fresh dill. You can also prepare this easy recipe in a slow cooker or on the stove!
During a modest holiday get-together a few years ago while I was still working at my corporate job, my coworkers and I had the opportunity to sample the most delicious cabbage rolls that my friend Julia had baked.
Her Russian family had been using this recipe for a very long time, and I could feel how much pride she had in it. She really took her time making these mouthwatering cabbage rolls for us and making sure everything was just right.
It seems like a really labor-intensive procedure. To get the cabbage leaves soft enough to roll, blanch them first. After stuffing them, they were steamed until the outsides were cooked through and they were prepared to be topped with dill and sour cream.
