Bring a Dutch Oven pan of water to a boil. Stick a fork firmly and securely into the core of the cabbage. Using the fork, lower the cabbage into the boiling water until the leaves turn a bright green color and wilt. It will take about 2 minutes. Remove from the water and allow to cool before handling.
In a medium bowl add the ground beef, onion, garlic, rice, parsley, peppers, and salt and pepper to taste.
Separate 8 leaves from the head of cabbage. Place one eighth of the meat mixture on to the leaves. Fold the end and roll up. Place seam side down in a greased 9x13 baking pan.
Pour the undiluted condensed tomato soup over the top of the cabbage rolls. Pour the ½ cup of water over the cabbage rolls.
Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 1 hour.
Allow to cool briefly before serving.
