Method

  1. Remove the core from the cabbage and place the whole head into a large pot filled with boiling water. Add 1 teaspoon salt to the water. Cover and cook 3 minutes, or until softened enough to pull off leaves.

  4. Place a heaping tablespoon of meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf. Tuck sides over filling while rolling up the leaf.

  5. Place half the chopped cabbage into a large dutch oven. Fill with layers of cabbage rolls. Cover with remaining chopped cabbage.

  6. Mix tomato soup, water and season salt together and pour over cabbage rolls.
