Creamed Cabbage Soup
"A nice winter soup and good with corn bread. This is another way to use small pieces of leftover ham. I do think some meltable cheese would be good in this as some reviewers have suggested. Also, thank you Chef#226863 for suggesting that I include a measurable amount of cabbage. I have also added the ham right away into vegetable /broth too if in hurry. Grated carrots also works well in this, and sometimes grate it right over the pan."

I made this for the Make it Healthier game and really enjoyed it! I halved the recipe, used turkey broth, margarine in place of butter, 2% milk and instead of ham used vegetarian bacon. I also added 1 tbls. Neufchatel cream cheese for a little extra richness. Thank you! -
What can I say except yummmm. I was browsing recipes this morning and had everything on hand that this ask for and it sounded very good. It's delicious! I had just a dab (maybe 1 1/2 TBSP of low fat cream cheese and added that to use it up and it did no damage at all *wink*. Simple to put together with inexpensive ingredients but good enough to serve company as a first course. -
Delicious! I doubled the recipe.. added some cayenne pepper for some zing... and also added a can of cream of potato soup to thicken it up a bit. I made a slurry of buttermilk baking mix and milk and added that to it, too... so it would thicken a little more. I pureed some of it with my immersion blender. Very quick and easy soup. -
Just made this soup tonight. Yummy! Great way to use up leftover ham... -
What a hearty, comforting soup! I made this exactly as written, except that I followed some reviewers' suggestions and added cheese (4 slices of Kraft Deluxe, which always melts perfectly). Great for a cold night. Thanks for a keeper! :-)

Wonderful, comforting bowl of soup! I made as directed with 2 changes: used white pepper instead of black (which I always do in creamy soups) - just a dash as it's so much stronger than black. And, I didn't have any ham but had smoked sausage so I used that instead. This was easy enough that it will be a great recipe for lunch whenever I have leftover veggies. The whole family enjoyed this. -
