It is a very busy week (we are on the road), so I am tossing this Soup on the board. It’s appropriate because this is one of my stand buy meals when I have a hard day or just need a good hearty, Sunday night soup. My daughter and my husband both love it. I hope you enjoy it too – Heidi.

Ingredients

  • 4 Cups Chicken Stock
  • 6 Cups Water
  • 2 Ham Hocks
  • ½ Head Cabbage – Chopped
  • 2 Carrots – Rough Chop
  • ½ Onion – Rough Chop
  • 1 Ham Steak –  Medium Dice

Put stock and water in stock pot and add everything except ham steak.  Bring to a boil and then return to simmer.  Skim.  Add ham steak in last hour (I cook this for about 3 hours).

Serve with fresh biscuits, butter and honey.  It’s also nice to add a ½ teaspoon of your favorite vinegar to the soup. For some reason, simple white vinegar seems to work best. We also like lots of pepper.
