Potato Cabbage Soup with Ham

Soup season has it so I had to give this recipe a try, Potato Cabbage Soup with Ham.

It was delicious and was a great way to use the potatoes and cabbage from my garden.

We doubled this batch as we were feeding quite a few and my philosophy on soup…make lots because it always tastes better the next day!

Here’s the recipe:

4 c shredded cabbage
3 medium potatoes, diced

2 medium carrots, diced

1 onion, diced

2 C. ham, diced

4 T. butter

3 T. flour

2 C. water

1 can chicken broth

1 tsp. dill

1/2 tsp. black pepper

Melt Butter in a medium saucepan.

Add potatoes, carrots and onions.

Saute mixture about five minutes.

Stir in flour and cook one minute. Add the cabbage, water, broth, dill and pepper, and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer covered about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Just before serving stir in the ham. This serves four.

It was yummy and I was right…it was better the next day!!
