Prep time: 10 minutes, plus 4 hours in slow cooker

Serves 6 / Cabbage becomes tender and delicious in this French-inspired soup. Prep tips: Rosemary adds a lovely accent, but you can also substitute marjoram or oregano. Be sure to use a good-quality, flavorful stock. Serving tip: Serve with a crusty French or Italian bread.

6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or stock

2 bay leaves

¼ cup dry white wine

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 onion, chopped

1 small cabbage (or ½ large), thinly sliced

2 15-ounce cans white beans (such as navy), rinsed and drained

Fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish (optional)

1. Place all ingredients except thyme sprigs in slow cooker. Cook on high setting for 4 hours (less if you like a little crunch in your cabbage). Salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
