Instructions

  1. Soak garbanzo beans in cold water for 12 hours, ensuring full submersion.

  2. In a large pot, combine 13 cups of water with beef, ham bone, pig's foot, bacon, and ham; bring to a boil and skim fat.

  3. Add half chicken, soaked garbanzo beans, carrot, turnip, and onion; simmer for 2 1/2 hours.

  4. After 2 hours of simmering, add halved, peeled potatoes and salt to taste; add more water if significant evaporation occurs.

  5. Chop cabbage into eighths. Transfer 2 cups of stew broth to a separate stockpot; add cabbage, 2 cups of water, and sausages, then boil until cabbage is soft.

  6. Combine equal parts meat stock and cabbage stock in a pot; bring to a boil. Break angel hair pasta into quarters, add to stock, and cook until al dente.

  7. Serve pasta with broth as the first course. For the second course, arrange drained garbanzo beans, beef, cabbage, and halved sausages in a separate dish.
