Fumbling Toward Culinary Talent: Slow Cooker Sausage and Cabbage

I went home for lunch yesterday and decided to do something with a head of cabbage languishing in the fridge. 

What I concocted was some manner of a stew/soup. Warning: It does stink up your house because cabbage releases an odor that Mrs. Nasty described as "smells like broccoli."

Ingredients
1 medium-size head of green cabbage, chopped roughly
1 rope of andouille sausage, halved and cut into bite-size pieces
1 rope of regular smoked sausage, halved and cut into bite-size pieces
1 container of chicken stock
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Healthy smidge of Tastefully Simple's Onion Onion seasoning
Healthy smidge of Penzey's dried garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Smidge of smoked paprika

Process
Chop up the cabbage and put that in the bottom of the slow cooker, dump in the chicken stock, add salt and pepper rigorously, add the seasoning, mix, and then place the sausage pieces on top. Put the slow cooker on high. 

Come back in about two hours and mix it to let the sausage pieces release their juices into the stock to become tasty. Let it go for another two to three hours while mixing every once in a while.
