Directions

Wash meat in cold water, put in pot; add water, bones and spices.

Bring to a quick boil; skim until all fat has disappeared and stock is clear. Lower heat and continue cooking for 1 hour.

Quarter turnips and cabbage; add to stock along with remaining vegetables, salt, garlic and other favorite spices. Simmer for about 4 hours. Remove the meat. Strain broth into a soup tureen. Chop vegetables into spoon size pieces (except cabbage), and return to soup.

Slice meat for portions and serve with cabbage. Serve hot.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
