Cabbage Soup With Ham Fresh Herbs Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cover ham hocks with water and cook until falling apart. Should take about one hour on medium heat on the stovetop.
• 2. While this is cooking, prepare all the vegetables.
• 3. Remove ham from the broth. Discard the bones and fatty pieces. Cut ham into large chunks.
• 4. Skim off as much of the grease as possible from the broth. Or if you like, cool the broth. Place in the refrigerator for about an hour. The grease will float to the top for easy removal then place back on the stove. (Though this will take more time than I have allotted for preparation.)
• 5. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery and bay leaves on medium or just below medium heat on the stovetop. Cook for about 20 minutes.
• 6. Add the cabbage, onions, and chicken stock. Cook an additional 40 minutes on the same heat or until all is tender.
• 7. Then add the ham and cook an additional 10 minutes. Serve with pumpernickel or dark rye bread. Enjoy.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine broth and vegetables. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. , In a large saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour. Gradually add milk and cream; cook and stir until thickened. Stir into vegetable mixture. Add ham, salt, pepper and thyme; heat through. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion, and carrot. Saute for 4 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute more.

• Stir in peas and cook for 10 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Tie together the sprigs of sage, parsley and bay with cooking twine to make an herb bundle; set aside for later use.
• Coat a large non-stick pot with cooking spray.
• Add the onions, cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the onions start to turn color.
• Uncover and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until golden.
• If necessary, add 1 to 2 tablspoons water to prevent sticking.
• Add the vegetable broth, cabbage, potatoes, ham or bacon, dill seed and herb bundle.
• Cover and bring to almost a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
• If a slightly thicker soup is desired, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot with the back of a large wooden spoon.
• Remove the herb bundle and stir in the vinegar.
• Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Serve each bowl garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Using a large saucepan or dutch oven, bring broth to a boil and add the cabbage, leeks, carrot, ham, and caraway seeds. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until carrot is tender.
• Add apple and wine to mixture and simmer uncovered for approximately 3 minutes or until apple is just tender.
• Stir in cooked potato and parsley, simmer 2-3 minutes or until soup is heated through. Divide evenly into 4 soup bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Put ham hock, water and herbs into slow cooker and cook on low for a few hours until water has turned into flavored broth. Remove hock, strip meat from bone, chop and set aside for later. Add vegetables and cook until they are nearly done. Add hydrated beans and chopped meat, cook for another hour or so; serve. Add lemon juice at table.

Steps:

• For the soup: Heat the olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent (not browned), about 8 minutes. Add salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to your desired preference. Then stir in the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring the entire mixture to a boil.
• Once boiling, stir in the cabbage and beans and keep it simmering, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Add more stock or water if you prefer more liquid and taste and season with more salt and pepper, if necessary. When finished, sprinkle over and stir in the parsley for color and flavor.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crostini or garlic bread, if desired.
• For the crostini: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil. You can also smear minced garlic over the top, if desired.
• Bake until crunchy and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Take the crostini out of the oven, drizzle the tops with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over the top.
