Cabbage and Kielbasa Soup
This post contains affiliate links. For more information, visit my disclosure page
Cabbage has been on sale this week ( $.15 lb ). I decided to look up recipes using cabbage. It also is one of my favorite vegetables. It is high in vitamins K and C. There are several different ways of cooking cabbage. I found this recipe a while ago for cabbage and kielbasa soup. I changed it a bit. The recipe says you can cook it for only an hour. I cooked it for several hours and the flavor was wonderful. You could easily adapt this to the slow cooker.
