Stuffed Cabbage Casserole

I made a huge pan of this that lasted us a couple of days. The Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup is great in this recipe, it really gives it a great flavor. This would also be a great freezer to as well. This is really just like having a healthy version of lasagna with the delicious layers and topped with cheese. I am a huge fan of cabbage so this is one of my favorites! The cabbage I bought from the Farmer's Market was HUGE! So this really made a lot!
