Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 1 box frozen pierogies partially thawed (about 12 pierogies)
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cups green cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 cups ham bite size dice
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
 

Instructions:

  • Take pierogi out of the freezer and set on the counter for 10 minutes to partially thaw. While pierogi are thawing, prep your vegetables and ham.
  • Clean and chop the onion, cabbage, and carrots. Dice the ham.
  • Cut each pierogi into 8 pieces and set aside.
  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the butter.
  • Add onion, cabbage, and carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened but not brown.
  • Add ham, chicken broth, pierogies, and spices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. The potatoes from the pierogies will naturally thicken the soup.
  • Add the milk and cheese. Cook and stir over low heat until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.
