HEARTY COUNTRY HAM AND CABBAGE SOUP



Hearty Country Ham and Cabbage Soup image

This is a quick and easy comfort food, a meal in a bowl, that is ideal for cold winter evenings.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of country ham: Look for a ham that is fully cured and smoked, with a deep red color. Avoid hams that are labeled "picnic" or "shoulder," as these are not as flavorful.
  • Soak the country ham overnight: This will help to remove some of the saltiness and make the ham more tender. You can also soak the ham for a shorter period of time, but the longer you soak it, the less salty it will be.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the soup. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions. You can also add other vegetables, such as green beans or corn.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just tender-crisp.
  • Add seasonings to taste: This could include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot: This is a hearty and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day.

Conclusion:

Country ham and potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover country ham. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
