Equipment
- Pot(s)
Ingredients
- .75 lb ground pork
- ½ ham steak
- ½ 15 oz can chickpeas
- 1 15 oz can white beans
- ¼ head of cabbage
- 1 package cubed prosciutto
- 2 chicken breasts
- 9 cups water then another 2
- 2 bone marrow bones
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ¼ cup long grain white rice (I used basmati)
- ½ cup noodles in the shape of shells
- 2 potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tbsp garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot on the stove, heat some olive oil. Roll the ground pork into meatballs and cook in oil for about 5 minutes.
- Dice the ham, then put the ham, sausage, chicken, and bones into the pot with about 9 cups of water. The entire chicken breast can be placed in the water at once, as it will cook so much that it will easily shred itself.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the soup simmer on the stove for two hours.
- Remove the bones and then bring the rest of the liquid back to a boil.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients (chickpeas, white beans, cabbage, prosciutto, peas, potatoes, rice, noodles, salt, pepper, and cumin).
- Cook for another 30 minutes until all of the ingredients are cooked through (including the potatoes and the rice).
