Ingredients

Directions

Place cabbage, rutabaga, orzo pasta, onion, garlic, dill, water, and vegetable broth in a slow cooker.

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.

Also consider throwing all of the ingredients (minus water and prepared broth) into the crock of your slow cooker the night before and keep it in the fridge overnight. Then just add water and turn on your slow cooker when you wake up in the morning.

Extra delicious with homemade biscuits. This soup should freeze well, though it has never lasted long enough in my house for me to try it!

Feel free to substitute barley or rice in the place of orzo.
