Ingredients

    4 cups low sodium chicken broth
    3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
    1 1/2 cups cabbage, chopped
    1 leek, diced
    1 onion, chopped
    2 carrots, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, sliced
    1/4 cup parsley, chopped
    1 tsp salt (to taste)
    1 tsp black pepper (to taste)
    1/2 tsp caraway seeds
    1/2 tsp ground thyme
    1 whole bay leaf
    1/2 cup sour cream
    (Optional) up to 1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions

Combine the chicken broth, potatoes, cabbage, leek, onion, carrots, garlic, and parsley in the cooker. Stir in the salt, pepper, caraway seeds, thyme, and bay leaf. Cover and cook on Low for 8-10 hours or on High for 4-5 hours. Remove bay leaf. Combine about 1/2 cup of liquid from the cooker with sour cream in a small bowl, and then stir the mixture into the cooker.

Those not counting calories/sodium can add the crumbled bacon to their bowls of soup. It's not included in the calorie count.

Makes at least 8 large servings suitable as a meal in itself; if served as a first course, could make up to 12 small servings.

(Based on a recipe that came in my Crock-Pot Cookbook, with changes to taste.)
