First, clean and finely chop the soup vegetables. Peel and halve the onion. Also finely chop the potatoes after peeling them. Then, in a large pot, melt the lard over medium heat. Then add the soup vegetables, the diced ham, and the onion and fry for about 2 minutes. Now add the kale, the potatoes, and the mettenden sausages (lightly pierce the mettenden sausages) and pour in the water until everything is covered. Now add 2 slightly heaped tablespoons of granulated stock and let the stew simmer for about 1 hour. After about 40 minutes, place the slices of smoked pork on top and turn after 10 minutes. You can use whatever seasoning you like—even a bit of sugar is fine. Since we don’t usually like it that soupy, I always skim off some of the stock. It can also be used as a great base for other stews. PS: If you have a good pot that doesn’t burn, you can skip the crackling lard. It’s just to prevent sticking to the bottom.
