Hearty Country Ham And Cabbage Soup Food

HAM AND CABBAGE SOUP

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.

HAM AND CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Cover ham hocks with water and cook until falling apart. Should take about one hour on medium heat on the stovetop.
• 2. While this is cooking, prepare all the vegetables.
• 3. Remove ham from the broth. Discard the bones and fatty pieces. Cut ham into large chunks.
• 4. Skim off as much of the grease as possible from the broth. Or if you like, cool the broth. Place in the refrigerator for about an hour. The grease will float to the top for easy removal then place back on the stove. (Though this will take more time than I have allotted for preparation.)
• 5. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery and bay leaves on medium or just below medium heat on the stovetop. Cook for about 20 minutes.
