I have fond memories of eating Grandma's soup when I was a child. Now I give my wife a break in the kitchen by making this soup every once in a while. It tastes just like home! Ingredients:
3 smoked ham hocks (about 1-1/2 pounds) |
3 quarts water |
1 tablespoon beef bouillon granules |
6 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped |
6 medium carrots, sliced |
2 medium onions, chopped |
1/2 medium head cabbage, chopped |
1 small turnip, diced |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Place ham hocks, water and bouillon in a Dutch oven or soup kettle; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Remove hocks; allow to cool.
2. Add potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage and turnip to broth; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until vegetables are tender. Using a potato masher, coarsely mash vegetables.
3. Remove meat from bones; cut into bite-size pieces and add to soup. Stir in salt and pepper; heat through. Yield: 16-18 servings (4-1/4 quarts).
