One Bowl Of This Is Never Enough!
The hardest part of making this soup is going to be getting your hands on a hambone. Here’s the little-known trick to that: go up to your local market’s meat counter and ask the butcher if he has a hambone just going to waste back there somewhere. Butchers hang on to the oddest little bits and pieces, the by-products, if you will, of their trade. They love it when you show an interest in these little odds and ends.
Tell him you are wanting to make this special ham and cabbage soup that your “friend” Jodie just shared her prize recipe for, and it needs a hambone to create the rich broth that makes this soup so special. Ask for one that still has some meat attached to it. If he’s cute, invite him over for dinner. The worst he can do is tell you he doesn’t have any. You might have to pay a small fee for it. Or if he’s in a generous mood, you might just get that hambone free-of-charge.
Quick now, get that bone home and start making this extraordinarily tasty soup! The ingredients are nothing fancy, but there are some spices used in this soup you might not have thought of putting in a ham and cabbage soup.

Quick Tip: It pays to make friends with your local butcher. Not only will he be an excellent source for hambones, but he will also make sure that you get first crack at all of the special deals he offers.
