Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and rinse the remaining head under cold water.
Cut the cabbage in half and remove the core. Slice each half into thin strips.
Peel and thinly slice the onion.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to soften and become translucent.
Add the cabbage to the pot and sauté with the onions for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds. Add the bay leaf.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the cabbage simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve warm.
