I noticed what a stir the post on cabbage w/sausage made, so though some of you might enjoy this recipe. It is a 'yankee' recipe--hunting buddy's grandfather from Michigan originated it.
Lots of ways to tinker with it too--spices, chili pequins, jalapenos, etc. Original recipe called for using smoked pork hocks, but not enough meat on 'em for me.
Cabbage Soup
1 cup cubed cured ham
1/2 head shredded cabbage
2 med onions sliced thinly
1 cup sliced carrots
2 Tbsp cooking oil
2 sticks celery w/leaves
2 cans chicken broth
1 (or 2) cans tomatoes
3 cans water
1 can white beans (optional)
3 cloves minced garlic (optional)
Salt, pepper to taste
Prepare all vegetables per above. In large soup pot, saute onion in 2 Tbsp oil until tender. Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to brisk boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 20-30 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, other spices (Cajun Blaze maybe?) to taste and cook another 10-20 minutes.
I can't tell you how to serve it--with cornbread maybe? I also like to put about a teaspoon of vinegar in a bowl--makes it sort of like Chinese Hot & Sour soup which I like.
