    Every so often, push down the cabbage into the broth, making sure all cooks evenly. It will cook down, so don't be alarmed at the amount.

    Meanwhile, make white sauce: In a saucepan or skillet, combine the butter and flour. Cook over medium heat until the flour browns a little.

    Add the ham to the cooked cabbage, stir and simmer until heated through.
