Gumbo Zabb.

Gumbo Zabb

This recipe came from our dear friend Scotty. Her dad made this soup for their family.
For another version of this dish (and a little history), click here.

1 bone-in cooked ham, or a couple of large ham bones
1 bag frozen spinach
1 bag frozen turnips greens
1 bag frozen collard greens
1 bag frozen mustard greens
1 bag frozen broccoli
1 head of cabbage, chopped
Several cloves of garlic
1 large onion, chopped
Dijon mustard, to taste
Salt & pepper, to taste

In a very large pot (large enough for a substantial shrimp boil):

Boil down ham until the meat falls apart (or the bones until a good broth has formed). Then add spinach, turnip greens, collard greens, mustard greens, head of cabbage, broccoli, onions, garlic, a heap of dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook down and add water as needed. When cabbage is cooked, it's done.
