Grandma’s Stuffed Cabbage Soup

My husband’s grandmother (Nannie) always made him his favorite comfort food, Stuffed Cabbage is otherwise known as Golumpki growing up.

He’s always asking me to make them. Of course, I try but they’re not nearly as good as he had growing up. 

Golumpki takes hours to make and I usually don’t have the time. So instead, I took all the flavors and ingredients that are found in Golumpki and made this stuffed cabbage soup recipe.
