Preparation

Step 1

Soak beans overnight. Drain. Combine beans, broth, water, ham hock, onion,
potatoes, turnip, garlic, rosemary and salt and pepper to taste in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat setting for about 8 hours. About 30 to 45 minutes before you are ready to serve, remove ham hock from soup and cut
meat from bone. Discard bone and return chopped meat to slow cooker. Add cabbage and kielbasa to soup. Crank
the heat up to high, cover and simmer for another 30 minutes or so, or until cabbage is tender and wilted and
kielbasa is warmed through.

SERVING SUGGESTION: So much going on in this soup all you really need is good loaf of whole wheat bread to round out this meal, but if you want something else pass around a bowl of raw baby carrots and your favorite dipping sauce (Ranch dressing?).
