# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced smoked sausage and cook until lightly browned, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.
02 - Transfer browned sausage, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker. Add shredded cabbage, diced red potatoes, sliced carrot, diced celery, chicken broth, vegetable bouillon cube, apple cider vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
03 - Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until potatoes are tender and cabbage is soft. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar as needed.
04 - Ladle soup into serving bowls. Optionally garnish with freshly cracked black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, or chopped fresh parsley to enhance vibrancy and flavor.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Browning the sausage and aromatics before slow cooking deepens the flavor complexity.
02 - Uniformly slicing vegetables ensures even cooking and texture.
03 - A splash of apple cider vinegar brightens the finished dish and balances richness.
