Heidi's Own: Ham & Cabbage Soup
Printer-friendly version
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.
French for 'thousand sheets', is a little slice of heaven, that’s what it is!! This tantalizing pastry made of several layers of puff pastry alternating with a sweet filling, typically pastry cream, but sometimes whipped cream, or jam. It is usually glazed with royal icing or fondant in alternating white and brown (chocolate) strips, and combed.
