Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds and set aside.
Chop the green cabbage into large chunks, peel and slice the carrots into rounds, and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Set the vegetables aside.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove from heat.
In a crock pot, layer the cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and browned sausage. Pour in the sautéed onion and garlic mixture.
Add the chicken broth and can of diced tomatoes with their juices to the crock pot.
Sprinkle the dried thyme, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper over the ingredients.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir gently before serving to combine the flavors. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice if desired.
