Total Time4 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ham pre-cooked, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 head of cabbage core removed and rough chopped
  • ½ cup carrots sliced
  • ½ cup white onion sliced
  • ¼ cup celery chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 10 cups low-sodium chicken broth water, or a combination of both

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients, except broth, in a 7-quart slow cooker. Pour 3 to 4 cups of broth into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on high for 1 hour or low for 2 hours.
    1 pound ham, 1 head of cabbage, ½ cup carrots, ½ cup white onion, ¼ cup celery, 3 garlic cloves, 2 bay leaves, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Remove the lid, stir, and check to see how much liquid is in the soup (will vary depending on how much liquid the cabbage releases). Add additional broth or water to just barely cover the ingredients. We used about 10 cups total (including the 3 to 4 cups in the first step). Stir to combine. 
  • Add the lid, and continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 hours on high or 3 to 5 hours on low. Stir occasionally.
  • The soup is finished when the vegetables and cabbage are tender.
  • Remove the bay leaves and enjoy hot. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
