Soup Variations To Try

While this soup is delicious on its own, you can always swap out ingredients with what you have on hand.

  • Meat variations: Instead of ground beef, ground pork, turkey, or chicken will also work well. Shredded chicken will be delicious as well.
  • Try different veggies: If you want to bulk up or switch out the veggies, you can add cauliflower, zucchini, green beans, broccoli, spinach, and/or even sweet potatoes.
  • Make it vegetarian: This cabbage soup will still be flavorful if you omit the meat. If you aren't doing the Whole30, you can even add rice, beans, or pasta.

Cabbage Soup with Ground Beef Serving Suggestion

This cabbage soup is delicious on its own. However, if you are looking for what to serve it with, here are some suggestions:

  • Cornbread or bread to dip into the soup
  • Alongside roasted chicken, roast beef, or pork chops

Frequently Asked Questions About Making Instant Pot Cabbage Soup

Do I need to sauté the meat and vegetables before pressure cooking?

Sautéing the vegetables and the ground beef before pressure cooking results in a better flavor and texture. I've pressure cooked all the ingredients together without sautéing just from pure laziness, and I had a much better result when I didn't skip this step. However, it's not necessary.

Can I use another meat besides ground beef?

You can substitute with different ground meat like turkey, chicken, pork, or even sausage. I just think ground beef tastes best with a cabbage heavy dish like this one.

How should I store my cabbage soup leftovers?

Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge.

How long will this soup keep?

You can enjoy this soup for up to 4-5 days if store properly in an airtight container. If you can't finish it, I suggest freezing it using the steps below.
