Crock Pot Andouille Sausage Cabbage Soup
It’s still very much winter where I live. Here in Rhode Island we have gotten a record about of snow over the last 2 months and it’s not quitting.
I don’t mind pretty snow but this is getting tough. The amount we have to shovel just to get out of the driveway makes me shudder every time to think about it.
My hubby does have a snow blower but goes and helps all the elderly neighbors which is around 5 houses we we live. This takes him over 3-4 hours some days.
The kids and I help him by removing the snow off everyone’s cars and shoveling their walk ways and steps.
Sure it’s a fabulous work out but I’m totally ready for Spring!
All of you who live in warm weather and don’t have to deal with snow like this are feeling pretty grateful right about now aren’t you?
But whether you live in a warm or cold climate, the crock pot is not a seasonal item.
You can use it all year long.
Spring or summer is great because then your oven doesn’t heat the kitchen when cooking a meal.
And in winter, well that is obviously self explanatory!
But for working people who are busy this soup will be a welcome reward to come home to!

I sure don’t miss the snow!
This soup looks amazing! Is there a comparable substitute for andouille sausage?
Oh sure you could use Italian sausage or turkey sausage, really whatever kind you like.
I feel ya! I am SO ready for summer! IN the mean time, I will be eating lots of soup to keep warm. This looks super yummy!
I love soups!! I love it even more that it’s made in the crock pot. How sweet of you and your family to help out your neighbors with the snow. We try to do that whenever we can, although we don’t have a snow blower. We do it the old-fashioned way! 🙂 This winter is really taking it’s toll this year…I feel your pain.
I am SO over the snow but I’d be all about a bowl of this soup.
I don’t’ use my crock pot often enough at all. I really should pull it out! This soup looks great – I love soups with cabbage!
That’s so sweet of your hubs to help the neighbors with shoveling snow!!
I can see how you’d want to make hearty soups like this if you’re snowed in half the time. Seriously delicious!! Cabbage soup is definitely one of my favorites 🙂
I could go for a giant bowl of this right now. Or two. Perhaps three.
i was trying to find a low cal, slow cooker cassoulet but everything had bacon or duck. this is just the recipe i was seeking. using chicken andouille sausage to still get the smokey flavor. thanks!
Hope you like it!
This is an incredible soup. I have a version for the pressure cooker and glad to have one for the slow cooker. Even though I don’t eat the andouille sausage, the flavor and kick it gives is so darn good.
I just made this. It sure is delicious. I’m going to add another bag of shredded cabbage next time since I left out the potatoes. That vinegar gives it a nice subtle tang! Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
I have been looking forward to making this for a while …I finally did & loved it! I did made a few tweaks: I used two different types of chicken sausage (for a lower fat/grease content) instead of andouille; plus I added chopped onion, celery, and red pepper flakes (for some heat). It turned out delicious and light! Thanks for the great recipe!
This soup is totally awesome. I did not use the crockpot. Just added 2 cans of northern beans. Did not add potatoes.
Fantastic soup and so easy to prepare; will make again and again.
I noticed in the nutrition facts section a serving size is 1 g. Is that right?
No the recipe plug in had a glitch. It’s 12 servings and there are about 12 cups so 1 cup is the serving.
This soup was GREAT.
I have to now eat a low-carb diet due to pre-diabetes and when I searched for this recipe I was a little hesitant. But with a little reasearch, cabbage is really great and the Keto diet allows sausage. The prep was not long and the few ingredients ( although, some seasonings are not common in my household, I paid $2 for fennel seeds and $2 for caraway seeds) were tasty. The only thing I would recommend is less fennel seeds because there is a heavy licorice taste. I would also recommend cooking longer than 4 hours on high–possibly 6 hours.
have you tried this in a pressure cooker? time?
No sorry I haven’t.
