Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Mild Italian sausage
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 3 large Carrots
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and brown the sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once browned, transfer the sausage to the crock pot.
Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, peel and dice the carrots and potatoes, and finely chop the onion. Add all the vegetables to the crock pot.
Mince the garlic and add it to the crock pot along with the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (including their juice).
Stir in the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and add the bay leaf.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Before serving, remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the soup hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a slice of crusty bread on the side.
