Preparation:
To cook:
Level: Easy
Serves: 5
Ingredients
- ¼ cups Chopped yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Salted Butter, Golden
- 8 ounces, weight Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Chopped garlic
- 4 cups Pork bone broth (or pork/chicken broth)
- 1-½ ounce, weight Baby carrots, sliced
- 6 ounces, weight Turnips, peeled and diced
- 6 ounces, weight Chopped green cabbage
- 1 pound Smoked Ham Cube (Fully Cooked)
- ½ teaspoon Coarsely ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Herbs of Provence
- 2 whole bay leaves
Preparation
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onions in the hazelnut butter. (The browned butter adds a lot of flavor to the soup.)
When the onions are translucent, add the mushrooms. Stir, then let the mushrooms cook until they release their moisture. Stir again and continue cooking until the mushrooms begin to brown.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add a small amount of bone broth or broth to deglaze the pan. Add the remaining stock/broth and all remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer the soup for at least 30-45 minutes to allow the full flavor to develop. Taste and adjust the spices if necessary. I don’t add salt to this soup because the bone broth and smoked ham seem to add enough salty flavor.
Makes 5 servings, about 1 cup each. Can be frozen.
Remarks:
• I like to bake a big smoked picnic ham from time to time. I keep the bone with a good amount of meat on it to make the bone broth for this soup. You can substitute any bone broth or broth you have. You may need to adjust the spices depending on the broth you are using.
