Cabbage soup with ham
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. For the broth base, it's best to use chicken or lean meat, for example. Be sure to add a handful of dried mushrooms for an amazing aroma and flavor. Otherwise, everything is quite simple. You can cook the cabbage soup either on the stovetop or in a multicooker. Serve garnished with fresh herbs or sour cream to taste.
