2 tspn canola oil
2 red onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, peeled

¼ tspn caraway seeds, crushed
2 small russet potatoes, peeled and halved
¼ lb low fat turkey kielbasa. Halved and sliced

8 cups reduced sodium chicken broth. (I used fat free)

Steps:

1.) Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic; cook stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and caraway seeds; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. 2.) Transfer the cabbage mixture to a 5-6 quart slow cooker.
