Not only is this soup delicious, but it's comfort food at it's best; especially if your feeling a bit under the weather. I had all the ingredients on hand, and couldn't wait to make this soup. I did use 4 cups of already shredded red & green cabbage and carrots, which comes in a 14-oz bag. I also added a 3/4 cup diced onion, 3 small cloves garlic, and since there was salt in the ham, I didn't season the soup with any additional salt, nor any pepper. When it came to making the roux, I did it in a separate pan, and I used 4 tablespoons of butter, and 4 tablespoons of flour, and then I gradually (but quickly) added as much broth as I could from the big pot of soup to the roux. When the roux was well mixed, and had slightly thickened, I added all of it back to the large pot of soup. Even though there wasn't much seasoning added to the soup, I found the ham and the salt in the ham, gave this soup lots of flavor. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this soup, but I also think you could add a 15 ounce can of small white beans (drained & rinsed) to the soup. I plan on making this soup again, as this recipe is definitely a keeper!

Very good, so good my GD and I polished off the pot (and it was a big one) between the two of us. I did add one grated carrot for a touch of color. Made for RS#46.

just what we needed for a cooler Spring day and a great way to use up my leftover ham I had in the freezer, we really enjoyed this wonderful soup, I did a few amount adjustments and also added crushed chili flakes, thanks for sharing Elaine!

This soup was different and very good. It was added to my list of comfort foods. I had leftovers for lunch and it reheated nicely. I will definitely make this again. Thank you!

Definitely nice and creamy... without cream or milk! This is tasty and filling. My paprika was spanish smoked and it added a wonderful flavor. I'll certainly be making this again. Thanx!
