Steps:

• Place chopped cabbage into an 8-quart soup pot.
• Microwave diced carrot in 2 tablespoons water for 6 minutes on high.
• Microwave diced celery in 2 tablespoons water for 4 minutes on high.

KOHLSUPPE - CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• 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 hours, until the cabbage reaches the texture you prefer.
• Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
• 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.
