Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 pound Bacon chopped
- 1 pound ham hocks
- 1 onion chopped, medium
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 2 celery chopped, stalks
- 5 garlic minced, cloves
- 8 cups cabbage about 2 pounds
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon oregano dried
- 1 tablespoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for spicy
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 fire-roasted tomatoes 14-ounce can
- 4 cups chicken broth use 6 cups for more brothy soup – you can use vegetable broth
- 1 pound potato peeled (if desired) and cubed
- 1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or use lemon juice
- parsley fresh chopped, for serving
- red pepper flakes fresh chopped, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Add ham hocks, onion, peppers, and celery. Cook 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring, until garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add cabbage, paprika, oregano, basil, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir and cook 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is slightly wilted.
- Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes, broth, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, or until cabbage and potatoes are cooked to your preference.
- Remove the ham hocks. Pick the meat from the bones and add to the soup pot. Skim any fat from the surface.
- Stir in apple cider vinegar and adjust for salt and pepper.
- Serve into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and red pepper flakes.
Notes
- White beans or other beans are a popular addition. Instead of potatoes, consider other root vegetables such as turnips, parsnips, carrots, or rutabaga. Try your favorite Cajun Seasonings or Creole Seasonings blend.
