Recipe View Ladle the Hearty Cabbage and Ham Soup into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!

For a richer flavor, consider using smoked ham or adding a ham hock to the broth while simmering.
Adjust the amount of broth to achieve your desired soup consistency. For a thicker soup, use less broth; for a thinner soup, add more.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or kale, to customize the soup to your liking.
This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
