Un~Stuffed Cabbage Roll Soup

I love cabbage rolls!,,,,But they can be very time consuming to make, Here is a very easy way to get the taste of cabbage rolls without all of the work!,,,This is pretty much a one pot recipe with the exception of the rice which I cooked seperately,,,I used the boil in bag rice, I also used a little sugar, because the sauce in cabbage rolls is usually on the sweet side.,If you were to take a cabbage roll slice it all up in your plate before eating,,,this is what you would end up with!  And if you wanted to make this recipe Un~Stuffed Green Peppers, just switch out the cabbage for green peppers,,,I would use about 5 diced!...Here is what I did,,,Enjoy!
