Steps:
- Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a stockpot pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and the ham. Cook, stirring every once and a while until the vegetables have softened and the onions are translucent; 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Cook, while stirring, for one minute. Stir in the cabbage, and then pour in the canned tomatoes and their juices as well as the stock. Add the bay leaves.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a boil. Taste then adjust with salt. The ham does add some salt to the soup so you may not need a lot of additional seasoning.
- Partially cover the pot with a lid, and then reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the cabbage, and other vegetables are tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat and remove the bay leaves. Stir in the lemon slices and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Taste and season with more salt and pepper. Serve.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan. Add onion and fry until soft, about 5 minutes. Add country ham and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken stock and potatoes; make sure potatoes are completely covered by the stock. Throw in thyme sprigs and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs. Add cabbage and mix well; the liquid no longer needs to cover the cabbage-potato mix. Bring back to a boil.
- Cover and reduce heat; simmer until the thickest parts of the cabbage are softened, 5 to 10 more minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl and add slowly to the soup. Mix well and cook until soup is about the consistency of heavy cream or desired thickness; it should not be too thick. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Select the right cabbage: Choose a firm, heavy head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid heads with brown or yellow spots, as these indicate age or damage.
- Cut the cabbage properly: Remove the outer leaves and core of the cabbage. Then, slice the cabbage thinly or chop it into small pieces. This will help it cook evenly in the soup.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. This will add flavor and texture to the soup.
- Cook the vegetables until tender: Before adding the ham and cream, cook the vegetables in the broth until they are tender. This will help the flavors meld together and create a more cohesive soup.
- Choose a flavorful ham: The type of ham you use will significantly impact the flavor of your soup. Choose a ham that is fully cooked and has a good smoky flavor.
- Add the cream at the end: Stir in the cream just before serving. This will help prevent it from curdling.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
