SALAMI, HAM STEAK, AND BEAN SOUP WITH GREENS

Salami, Ham Steak, and Bean Soup with Greens image

On a recent trip to Paris I ordered the special at Le Cafe Marguerite. After sightseeing in the freezing rain, we needed something warm. I got a delicious dish of boiled ham, salami, potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. I love ham bean soup and make it quite a bit in the cold months. I dress up my normal recipe with salami and cabbage. I love adding turnip, potato, carrot and zucchini, too. This a great recipe to play with. The result is quite delicious. Enjoy.
