Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

Start by cutting the cabbage into uniform wedges for even cooking. Place the cabbage wedges at the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the Smoked Sausage:

Slice the smoked sausage into rounds and layer it over the cabbage. As it cooks, the sausage releases its rich, smoky flavor, infusing the broth.
Top with Tomatoes:

Pour the can of diced tomatoes over the sausage and cabbage. This adds a touch of acidity to balance the dish’s richness.
Add the Broth:

Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the ingredients are mostly covered. The broth serves as the base, turning into a savory, flavorful soup as it cooks.
Cook:

Cover the slow cooker and cook:
Low: 6-8 hours
High: 3-4 hours
Cooking on low allows the flavors to meld together deeply, but high heat is an option if you’re short on time.
