For a richer, creamier broth, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream or full-fat sour cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Do not let it boil after adding the cream.
Replace the ham with 1.5 lbs of sliced smoked sausage, such as kielbasa or andouille. Brown the sausage after sautéing the onions for extra flavor.
Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme or a few sprigs of fresh rosemary along with the bay leaf for a more complex, earthy flavor.
For a touch of heat, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes along with the garlic in the first step.
Cabbage is an excellent source of Vitamin C, an antioxidant that is crucial for a strong immune system and healthy skin.
The combination of cabbage, potatoes, and carrots provides a healthy dose of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes gut health.
This dish is nutrient-dense. Carrots provide Vitamin A for vision health, while potatoes offer potassium, which is important for blood pressure regulation and heart function.
Ham is a key source of complete protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, maintaining muscle mass, and overall body function.
One serving of this dish contains approximately 585 calories, though this can vary based on the specific type of ham and size of vegetables used.
It can be part of a healthy diet. It's packed with vegetables rich in vitamins and fiber. However, ham can be high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key. Using low-sodium broth helps manage the salt content.
Yes, but waxy potatoes are highly recommended. Red potatoes or new potatoes are great alternatives as they also hold their shape well when simmered. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russets, which tend to disintegrate.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
Absolutely. Sauté the onion and garlic on the stovetop first, then transfer to the slow cooker. Add the ham, potatoes, broth, and seasonings. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Add the cabbage and carrots during the last hour of cooking to prevent them from getting too soft.
This is a complete one-pot meal, but it pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, cornbread, or traditional Irish soda bread to soak up the delicious broth.
