Ham, Cabbage and White Bean Soup

If you want a delicious ham with white beans and cabbage soup this will hit both the spot and the jackpot of all soups!

This ham cabbage and white bean soup can feed a large family on a budget easily.

I always use that leftover Holiday ham for this meal.

It's perfect to just keep the bone with some meat on it, throw it in the freezer for another use like this delicious homemade soup.

It sure is a family favorite here.

The soup makes a large amount and freezes well too!

It's fabulous in flavor!

Don't miss out on trying this old classic!

The Perfect Comfort Food

It really is the perfect meal on a rainy day. Here in Florida, we don't get much cooler weather, but when we do this tops the lists of must makes.



I love the fresh plum tomatoes, carrots, celery, white navy beans, and cabbage, it's the perfect combination of flavors.



You can use chicken, bacon or any smoked pork to make a great broth.

Low In Calories

Most soups are low in calories, eat less beans to cut the carbs if watching.



The soup is hearty and filling.

Easy to Make

Great to use up that old ham bone from a holiday.


Just stick that ham bone in the freezer to make soup later, we do it all the time.


This soup is very economical to make!

Slow Cookers

This delicious soup cooks great all day in a slow cooker, don't be afraid to throw everything in the pot and leave!


Try using the slow cooker when your in a huge rush and come home to homemade delicious soup!

Not Watching Carbs?

It sure is a tasty bowl of comfort soup especially when you add some crusty Italian bread or even some homemade cornbread will do just fine.



If you're a cabbage and ham lover, this is the perfect bowl of yum for you! You can also add carrots and potatoes or if you're not a potato lover leave them out!



If you're looking for a hearty soup, you hit the jackpot with this one.

Substitute whatever your family loves!

Everything can go in soup!


When mom would make this ham, cabbage, and white bean soup, I always knew what she was made by its strong smell and I loved it.



I love cabbage, some folks are not too fond of it but it's so healthy for you.

Escarole and Other Greens

I have substituted other greens in this soup like escarole instead of cabbage which is a much milder green, still, the taste will be fabulous.



Mom called this made with savoy curly cabbage. beans, ham, a  minestra. Not sure if I spelled it right.

Any Greens

You really can use any greens you prefer. Savoy cabbage which is also referred to as curly cabbage is very good in this soup.



My kids prefer all bacon flavor or smoked pork chops off the bone in this soup. Either way it will be delicious!



Ham, cabbage and white beans make it a thick broth while cooking, it is an amazing pot of hearty deliciousness!

Change It Up

This is a basic recipe for ham and cabbage soup.


Sometimes I just add potatoes and whole plum tomatoes.


Sometimes I use whatever leftover meats I have even bacon.


Anything goes in soup, but a ham bone with cabbage certainly makes a tasty soup.


If you're not a fan of beans, don't add them, the soup is delicious and hearty no matter what you add besides cabbage and ham for flavoring.

Salt and pepper to taste

cayenne pepper (optional) just a pinch

instructions:

In a large pot, fill water half full, add broth, wine, all the vegetables, ham bone and herbs.

Sprinkle to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until all vegetables are tender.  Add beans, cook 1/2 hour more. If in need add more water or chicken broth. Remove ham off the bone and add back to the pot.

 Serve with crusty Italian bread broken up in the bowl... or just dunk it!

Try this in the crockpot too!
