Kohlsuppe - Cabbage Soup
Tossed some broth and cabbage into the slow cooker, and household members said, "Hmm, smells good, what is it?" Just some cabbage. That's it." He said "You should find a Gerrman name for it." Really simple, and very tasty! Easy to make with typical ingredients that can be found in your pantry.

Directions
1 Put the chopped cabbage and the broth in the crockpot, on high; simmer for 1½ hours. 2 In a sauté pan, cook the bacon slices until crisp; remove, chop roughly, and set aside. 3 Sauté the onion in the bacon drippings until soft. 4 Add the chopped bacon, onion, potato, and salt and pepper to the crockpot. 5 Cook on high for an additional 1 to 1½ hours hours, until the cabbage reaches the texture you prefer. 6 Serve with a dollop of sour cream. 7 Notes: would also be good with some dill weed or caraway added, or even kielbasa slices, if you like; I also added a 1 once cube of concentrated frozen duck stock, but as most folks don't have it in their freezer I didn't include it in the ingredient list; you could simmer this in a heavy pot on the stove for an hour instead of the crockpot, too.
