Ham & Cabbage Soup

One of the best things about the holidays is all the left overs.  And one of the favorite things about Christmas’ left over ham is Ham & Cabbage Soup.  I love it… hubby hates it.  So I don’t make it very often.  But when I do make it, I make a 6 quart pressure cooker full.

Here’s my recipe for Ham & Cabbage Soup

Diced potatoes

Diced Carrots

Diced Cabbage  (I used a small head)

Seal the pressure cooker, according to your manufacture’s directions.  Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat & cook 20 minutes.

(If you’re using a Dutch Oven, cover with a lid, bring to a boil, reduce heat & simmer until the potatoes & carrots are tender.)
