I haven't had a big pot of cabbage soup since the end of winter. I think I eat half of it before it gets completely cooked. I use a very simple recipe: cabbage, onions, tomatoes, 1 package onion soup mix, a couple of low sodium chicken boullion cubes and cook. Use as much or little of the veggies as you desire. I usually fill the crock pot, it cooks down a lot.
