This is a basic cabbage soup recipe that’s really simple, and very tasty! It uses ingredients that most will already have on hand.
The addition of potatoes adds more substance. A highly adaptable recipe to which you can add other ingredients that you have on hand or that the whim of the moment inspires you to add.
I like to add kielbasa. Pasta works well instead of potatoes.
I doubled the recipe – some for the freezer!
Very versatile soup! Perfect for a cold winter evening.
If you don’t want to use the crockpot you can simmer this in a heavy pot on the stove for an hour instead.

Cabbage soup is one of my childhood memories. I make this a lot!
- 1 small cabbage chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 4 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1 1/2 cups diced potatoes frozen are okay, as are O'Brien potatoes
- salt and pepper to taste
- sour cream for garnish
Put the chopped cabbage and the broth in the crockpot, on high; simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
In a sauté pan, cook the bacon slices until crisp; remove, chop roughly, and set aside.
Sauté the onion in the bacon drippings until soft.
Add the chopped bacon, onion, potato, and salt and pepper to the crockpot.
Cook on high for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the cabbage reaches the texture you prefer.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Enjoy!
