An easy and delicious weekday meal; just throw the ingredients in your slow cooker in the morning and come home to a hot and ready meal. I find it difficult to keep my roommate from sneaking scoops before dinner! If you are watching your sodium intake, use reduced or no-sodium broth and you are set! Recipe serves 6 as a reasonable size main dish, just add buns or biscuits to make it a full meal.
Ingredients
- ¼ large head cabbage, chopped
- ¼ large rutabaga, diced
- 1 ½ cups uncooked orzo pasta
- ½ large onion, finely chopped
- 1 whole head garlic, peeled and minced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups vegetable broth
Directions
Step 1
Place cabbage, rutabaga, orzo pasta, onion, garlic, dill, water, and vegetable broth in a slow cooker.
Step 2
Cover the cooker and cook on Low until vegetables are tender and soup is thickened, 5 to 9 hours.
Cook’s Notes:
For extra ease: use pre-chopped garlic and powdered/cubed broth. If using powdered broth, increase the water to 8 cups and just throw in the powder.
