How To Make The Soup Spicier
This is a very mild-tasting soup. That’s why it’s so popular with my kiddos. If you want your soup to have a little more kick to it, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. If you’re sick, it will work wonders for your cold!

What’s In Low-Carb Cabbage Soup
Here’s what I used in my soup.
- Oil – This is for browning the meat. Use your favorite oil.
- Onion – Save time and use frozen diced onion.
- Garlic Cloves – Fresh garlic tastes way better than garlic powder.
- Meat – Any ground meat will taste great. I used ground chicken but you can use ground beef or even sausage.
- Cabbage
- Canned Tomatoes – Use a 28-ounce can. For a bit more kick you can use tomatoes with green chiles.
- Paprika
- Cauliflower Rice – Save time and use frozen cauliflower rice.
Low-Carb Instant Pot Soup Tips
Here are some of my best tips and some photos of the recipe as I made it. If you have more questions please leave them in the comments.
Saute Meat In the Instant Pot
Before you start making the soup, use your Instant Pot to brown your ground meat. I do this on the saute setting of the Instant Pot. It should only take about 2 minutes.
Add garlic and ground chicken and cook until chicken is browned.
Add Soup Ingredients
After the meat is completely cooked, start adding the rest of the soup ingredients. I reused the tomato can to add a can of water to the soup, it was the perfect amount.
Set Instant Pot At Soup Setting
I love that my Instant Pot has a soup setting! The entire thing is ready in just 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, use the natural release and then add the cauliflower rice and let it cook for another 5 minutes. This is so easy.
