You may find this hard to believe, but I am not a soup-lover. I like creamy soups, like broccoli cheese and chicken corn chowder, but brothy soups just aren't my thing. I know, I know, i'm crazy... But, now that i'm getting older, i'm finding that my tastes are changing dramatically. and things I never liked to eat before have now become things I love and sometimes even crave! This whole getting older thing is kind of amazing, really... So, with that being said... I actually found a brothy soup I like! Yay me!
It all started when I found a steal on a giant ham, so we pretty much ate ham for a whole week... and even after that whole week of eating nothing but ham, I could have still eaten more ham! That's true love, folks. Anywho, during that time, I found myself trying to think of new ways to use the ham and, of course, soup popped into my mind. This Ham & Cabbage soup is a brothy soup, but you know what... I loved it! It's simple, to the point, and absolutely delicious! Plus, with Easter coming up, I know you're going to be looking for ways to use up some of that leftover ham! l ;) Enjoy!
