Leek Soup

4-5 c. chicken broth
3 potatoes peeled and chopped
1 1/2 c. chopped cabbage
1 leek diced (use only the white and lightest green part, rinse well!)
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 carrots diced
1/4 c. chopped parsley
1 t. salt
1/4-1/2 t. pepper (depending on how spicey you want it!)
1/2 t. caraway seeds
1 bay leaf
1/2 c. sour cream
8-16 oz. cooked, crumbled bacon (optional)
Dump everything into a crockpot except the sour cream and bacon. Cook low 8-10 hours, High 4-5 hours. Discard bay leaf. Put the sour cream in a small bowl, whisk in some of the hot broth from the soup to temper the cream, then add it all to the soup. Stir in the bacon. ENJOY!! I know you will!
