Spicy Pork and Cabbage Slow Cooker Goulash Soup
[Photograph: Jennifer Olvera]
Up the ante by using pickled cabbage instead of fresh. Don't have a slow-cooker? Use a Dutch oven. Just combine the ingredients in step 2 in a Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop, then cover and transfer to a 275°F oven. Cook until meat is tender, 3 to 4 hours.
