Potato & Cabbage soup...with ham


Potato & Cabbage Soup
Tasty Kitchen

1 pound Cabbage, Sliced
3 whole Russet Potatoes, Peeled And Cut Into Chunks
1 cup Ham, Diced
6 cups Chicken Stock
1 cup Half-and-half

Combine all ingredients except half-and-half in slow cooker. Cover. Cook on high for 6 hours. Remove 2 cups of the ‘solids’ and 1 cup of ‘liquid’ from the cooker and puree in blender. Return to cooker. Stir in half-and-half and cook on low for 20 minutes more.


 


Of course this recipe needed help. I liked the idea of it, but hello a veggie soup without onion and garlic, let alone salt and pepper?! So I added one chopped onion, three minced garlic cloves, salt, and pepper to taste. At the end it still needed something so I added dried savory because the label on the jar said it was good for the cabbage family. I wanted a happy cabbage family.
