Posted by JanuarySnowAngel on 17 Feb 2025 at 3:13PMIngredients:
• 1-small Ham with Bone, Butt End (not canned)*
• 1-small cabbage, shredded
• 5-6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1-can of green beans (or fresh green beans)
• Season with chopped garlic, onion powder, pepper, and minimal salt
1. Put ham, cabbage, and seasonings in Dutch Oven (pot) and fill with water ¾ full.
2. Cook on medium heat on top of stove (covered) until cabbage is TENDER. (This method takes longer and requires regular supervision. But tastes better. Alternative is to cook in oven on 350 with a lid.)
3. Add water as it diminishes from the pot, keeping same 3/4 level as you started with.
4. When cabbage becomes tender, take pot off stove and remove ham and bone.
5. Add potatoes to pot and cook until tender.
6. Add green beans when finished. (*If using fresh green beans, add to pot when you add the potatoes.)
7. Cut ham off bone and cube the meat. Add the meat only back to pot to complete the soup.
*It’s important to use a piece of ham On The Bone. Cooking the bone adds to the flavor and provides valuable minerals.
