Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 ham hock
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage
  • 2 cups thinly sliced potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon cream or milk (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Combine the stock, ham hock, and cabbage in a large stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until the potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes.
