Seasoning everything with salt and black pepper.
Next, add in chopped carrots and garlic. Continue cooking until the garlic starts to brown and is fragrant. Then, lower the heat to medium.
Now, toss in the cubed potatoes and sprinkle flour over. Mix everything together for about 15 seconds to cook the raw flavor out of the flour.
Then, pour in the broth. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer. After, place the shredded cabbage on top, season with salt and pepper then cover for 15 minutes.
Occasionally, stir the cabbage stew and mix around the cabbage.
