Hello ,

Easy Crockpot Ground Sausage and Cabbage Soup

If you do not have a crockpot you can use this

ingredients

• 1 large head of green cabbage, roughly chopped (about 8 cups)
• 1 pound ground Italian sausage (mild or hot, your preference)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (you can add more)
• 8 cups chicken broth

Directions

Brown the Sausage (an important step for ground meat)

• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground sausage until no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes)
• Break up the meat into small crumbles as it cooks
• Drain excess fat if desired (can leave some for flavor)

Layer in Crockpot:

• Place the browned ground sausage in the bottom of your crockpot
• Add the diced onion and minced garlic
• Add the chopped cabbage on top
• Pour in the chicken broth (liquid should just about cover the cabbage)

Cook:

• LOW: 6-8 hours
• HIGH: 3-4 hours
• The soup is ready when the cabbage is tender

Before Serving:

• Stir well to distribute the ground sausage throughout the soup
• Taste and adjust seasoning if needed

Pro Tips

• Use Italian ground sausage for the best flavor (it's already seasoned)
• Don't skip browning the sausage - this step is essential for ground meat
• Break up any large sausage clumps before adding to the crockpot
• If using plain ground pork sausage, consider adding:
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Storage

• Refrigerator: 3-4 days in an airtight container
• Freezer: Up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container
• The soup may thicken when stored; and thin with additional broth when reheating

This is my favorite multi-use pot

To your health and well-being,

Jessy.
