This German Crock Pot Ham Potato Cabbage Soup recipe reminds me of my German grandmother. It is a perfect soup recipe for Octoberfest.
Chunks of potato, bite size pieces of fresh cabbage, leeks and cubed ham make this a hearty soup perfect on a cold day.
This soup recipes is also a perfect way to use up leftover holiday ham.
Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and serve with crusty bread for a hearty meal that will warm you up.
Recipe Tips
- Save time on cooking day by chopping and dicing all of the vegetables except the potatoes the night before making.
- Dice the onion last, after you have prepped all of the other vegetables this will help cut back on the tearing of your eyes.
- Crock pot size matters. I prefer cooking all of my crock pot soup recipes in a large 8 quart crock pot. The food will heat up faster in the larger crock pot.
