Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 ½ cups chopped carrots
- 4 cups chopped green cabbage or shredded
- 2 cups diced potato
- 2 cups diced ham or shredded ham
- 3 tablespoons fresh chopped dill divided
- 10 cups water
- salt and pepper
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch for thickening
Instructions
- Set a large 6-8 quart soup pot over medium heat. Add the butter to the pot. Then add the onions, peppers, and celery. Sauté the veggies for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped carrots, cabbage, potatoes, ham, and half of the chopped dill to the pot. Pour in the water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper to the pot.
- Partially cover the pot and bring to a boil. Stir the soup, then partially cover again, lower the heat, and allow the soup to simmer for 45 to 55 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the carrots and potatoes are tender, and the soup has cooked down to thicken, it's ready to serve. If you would like a thicker soup base, scoop out a small portion of broth, stir in 1- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and stir the cornstarch slurry back into the bubbling broth.
- Add the remaining chopped dill to the soup pot. Stir well, then taste. Add additional salt and pepper if needed.
Notes
- Cool the cabbage and potato soup completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Leftovers will keep well for up to 3-4 days in the fridge.
- To Freeze: Let the soup cool, then transfer to an airtight container. (I suggest wrapping the container in a layer of aluminum foil for extra protection from freezer burn.) Freeze for up to 3 months, and thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
