Directions
- In a large saucepan or small stockpot over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots and celery are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the ham, broth, cabbage, and bay leaves and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the cabbage is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
- *To make ham broth, combine 2 smoked ham hocks, 1 carrot, 1 celery stalk, 1 onion (quartered), 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns and 4 quarts water in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil over low heat, reduce to a very gentle simmer, cover and cook until the meat falls off the ham hocks, 3 to 4 hours. Strain the broth and add salt and pepper to taste. Makes about 3 quarts.

I made a few changes and this came out very flavorful. I added extra garlic, a couple of teaspoons of oregano and several shakes of cayenne pepper. I also added some diced potatoes and some extra ham. I only used about 3 cups of shredded cabbage and 8 cups of broth instead of 10. It was good enough to eat the leftovers.

We used the ham bone from our Christmas ham to make the ham broth. I added 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar because this helps pull the minerals from the bone when making bone broth. I simmered the broth a few extra hours at the lowest temperature to maximize the benefits and flavor.
Half the broth is in my freezer now. We loved the soup recipe and plan to make another large batch of soup in another week or so. The cabbage worked great, being chopped very coarsely. I did not need to use any salt or pepper when using peppercorns in making the broth and the salt came out of the long simmering of the ham bone and ham scraps used in making the broth.

I will definitely be making this again however I do agree it definitely needed more seasoning which I had no problems with adding and a little hot sauce to give it a little kick and a little Worcestershire as well.
I plan on serving it either with cornbread or either dinner rolls just because I like bread

excellent recipe I use smoked ham leftover from previous days dinner. I also used Ham based bouillon to make the broth which gives an excellent flavor. Highly recommend this recipe.

Very good. Made it with stock made from a ham bone. Meat came from same ham. Makes all the difference! Added a little hot sauce at table. Yum.
