Provided by pjspring

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
8 ounces country ham slices, diced
1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
1 ½ pounds red potatoes with skin, cut into small cubes
4 sprigs fresh thyme
½ large head Savoy cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch squares
1 teaspoon cornstarch, or more to taste
2 teaspoons water
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

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.

SMOKED HAM HOCK AND CABBAGE SOUP



Smoked Ham Hock and Cabbage Soup image

Got this recipe from an Amish neighbor years ago, but she doesn't remember where she got it. I have had this at the Hoss's steakhouse chain as an appetizer or with a big salad.This is more about the broth than the ham or cabbage. Be careful of the salt as some ham hocks can be very salty, but on the plus side they are available at any grocery store.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, main course

Time 45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup onion, diced
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or canned (low-sodium)
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 large potato, peeled and quartered
1/2 head Savoy cabbage, cored and cut into 2-inch chunks
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 pound smoked ham, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 small sourdough baguette, cut across into 1/8-inch thick slices
1/4 pound Roquefort cheese, crumbled

  • To make the croutons, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and cover each slice with crumbled Roquefort. Bake until croutons are crisp and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Ladle the soup into 4 bowls and top each with 3 croutons. Serve immediately, passing remaining croutons separately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality ham bone. This will give your soup a rich, flavorful broth. If you don't have a ham bone, you can substitute 1 pound of smoked ham or 1 cup of diced ham.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but still have a little bit of crunch. About 10-15 minutes of simmering is usually enough.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a little bit of acidity.
  • Serve the soup hot. This is a great soup to serve on a cold day. You can also freeze the soup for later.

Conclusion:

Ham and cabbage soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. This soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you have some leftover ham, be sure to give this soup a try!
