something reminiscent of old-fashioned farmhouse cooking. To keep the ingredient list tight but punch up flavor, lean on your pantry: a bay leaf or a teaspoon of caraway seeds can be added with the water, or a splash of apple cider vinegar stirred in at the end brightens the dish without making it fussy.
For a creamier texture, lightly mash some of the potatoes into the broth right in the slow cooker, creating a thicker, stew-like base around the cabbage.
