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.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ounces smoked bacon, diced

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For the best flavor, look for a firm, heavy head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut the cabbage thinly: Thinly slicing the cabbage will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just cabbage! Feel free to add other vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or tomatoes.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients. Cook them until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Add flavor with herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to flavor your soup. Some good options include garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth, depending on your preference.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: Cabbage soup is a hearty and filling meal, but it's even better when served with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Cabbage soup is a delicious, healthy, and affordable meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give cabbage soup a try!
