Dinner 1 Hr. 5 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces country ham slices, diced
  • 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
  • 1 ½ pounds red potatoes with skin, cut into small cubes
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • ½ large head Savoy cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch squares
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, or more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan. Add onion and fry until soft, about 5 minutes. Add country ham and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken stock and potatoes; make sure potatoes are completely covered by the stock. Throw in thyme sprigs and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs. Add cabbage and mix well; the liquid no longer needs to cover the cabbage-potato mix. Bring back to a boil.
  • Cover and reduce heat; simmer until the thickest parts of the cabbage are softened, 5 to 10 more minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl and add slowly to the soup. Mix well and cook until soup is about the consistency of heavy cream or desired thickness; it should not be too thick. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes before serving.
