Directions:
Place all ingredients stopping at the garlic cloves in a slow cooker. Give it a stir and turn it on high for 4 hours. With one hour remaining, add in the cabbage, pepper, apple cider vinegar, and sausage. While the last hour of the soup is cooking, place a large skillet over medium high heat on the stove. Add in the butter till it foams then toss in the caraway seeds and diced pretzel bread. Toast the bread until golden brown. When soup is ready and you've tasted for seasoning, add 2 ladles into a bowl and top with pretzel croutons and a dollop of Bavarian mustard. Serve with the German lager you added to the soup!
