Kohlsuppe - Cabbage Soup

Total Time: 3 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 small cabbage, chopped
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 4 slices bacon
• 1/2 cup minced onion
• 1 1/2 cups diced potatoes (frozen are okay, as are o'brien potatoes)
• salt and pepper, to taste
• sour cream, for garnish

Recipe

• 1 put the chopped cabbage and the broth in the crockpot, on high; simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
• 2 in a sauté pan, cook the bacon slices until crisp; remove, chop roughly, and set aside.
• 3 sauté the onion in the bacon drippings until soft.
• 4 add the chopped bacon, onion, potato, and salt and pepper to the crockpot.
• 5 cook on high for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours hours, until the cabbage reaches the texture you prefer.
• 6 serve with a dollop of sour cream.
• 7 notes: would also be good with some dill weed or caraway added, or even kielbasa slices, if you like; i also added a 1 once cube of concentrated frozen duck stock, but as most folks don't have it in their freezer i didn't include it in the ingredient list; you could simmer this in a heavy pot on the stove for an hour instead of the crockpot, too.
