I love cooking a ham for my family, because that means we'll be having this delicious hearty soup later that week. This recipe makes good use of all the wonderful fresh vegetables that are grown in Ohio. Ingredients:
1 meaty ham bone |
water |
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced |
6 green onions, sliced |
3 celery ribs, chopped |
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley |
2 cups chopped cabbage |
2 medium carrots, diced |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup half-and-half cream |
ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a soup kettle, bring ham bone and 2 quarts water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until meat pulls away from the bone.
2. Remove ham bone. When cool enough to handle, trim any meat and dice. Discard bone. Return ham to kettle along with potatoes, onions, celery, parsley, cabbage and carrots; cook 40 minutes.
3. Combine flour and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Slowly pour into the soup, stirring constantly. Bring soup to a boil; cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in cream. Remove from the heat. Garnish with nutmeg. Yield: 6 servings.
