This Crock Pot Polish Sausage Cabbage Soup is a hand-me-down soup recipe from Poland has a very unique flavor and is perfect way to switch up soup night!
Cris here. Confession… I love cooked cabbage. It is by far one of my favorite sides. So, when I saw this Crock Pot Polish Sausage and Cabbage Soup in Gooseberry Patch’s Busy Day Slow Cooking I told Mikey we HAD to make it. And then, he made a face at me. He wasn’t exactly sold on the idea. But I didn’t really give him a choice! And so he made a video!
Crock Pot Polish Sausage Cabbage Soup Notes
- The cookbook says this soup recipe (submitted by Marcia Shaffer of Pennsylvania) was a hand-me-down recipe from Poland.
- The flavor in this recipe is definitely not a typical American flavor. The caraway seed adds a black licorice-like flavor to the soup. If you are unsure about that flavor, you may want to test it out or skip it because it is very prominent in the soup. If you leave it out, your soup will taste more like a vegetable soup.
- We used our 6 Qt Cuisinart for this recipe, but any 6 Qt slow cooker should work just fine.

Add a couple tablespoons of brown sugar…..takes it to a whole new level. This is almost just like
a recipe I’ve used many times, but I don’t add the caraway seeds (don’t care for them). The recipe I just mentioned came from a person of Polish descent.
David Marvin says
Can you add. Beer to this recipe
Cris says
Hi David-
Sure. I would just substitute some of the broth for beer. Enjoy!
Alanis says
Great recipe, we love it. We definitely add salt, pepper, garlic & we use regular luscious chicken stock.
Cris says
So glad you enjoyed it, Alanis!
Sheryl says
Hi!
I so love your recipes! The Polish sausage and cabbage is definitely Polish, but in my family we use sauerkraut with some of the juice. It gives it a great tang. Wow, time to shop! I need to make this now.
Thanks for that. Ha
Cris says
Oh we hope you enjoy it, Sheryl!!
tracy chester says
delish !!!!!!!! Would make it over and over.:)
Cris says
So glad you enjoyed it as much as we did, Tracy! Thanks so much for stopping by to let us know.
Roxanna says
I love to add yellow squash to mine, but leave out the caraway seed.
Cris says

SANDRA AHL says
love, love love to watch videos and try your recipes. I tried the chicken upside down and came out awesome. Can;t wait to try this one, but looks like a 5 star to me
Jennifer W says
Does this soup freeze well?
uncle1950 says
You know Jen, it might for a VERY short period, but I did just that for maybe a couple months and the cabbage broke down and it lost its desired flavor. So not really, refrigerate leftovers or have a family/friends get together and enjoy!
Cris says
Jen-
I agree with uncle1950. I would be afraid freezing the cabbage would make it really mushy. Enjoy!
