Leftover Ham Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat broth in a saucepan over high heat. Add ham, corn, navy beans, and onion. Add dried parsley, thyme, salt, red pepper flakes, and hot sauce. Cook over high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook about 5 minutes more. Finish with fresh parsley before serving.

Steps:

• Boil waer and cubes together.
• chop potatoes, ham, leeks and carrots
• throw in pot when water boils.
• allow to get tender.
• add milk and stir frequently.
• mix flour and 2 T milk until smooth.
• add to pot
• bring to a boil to thicken.
• add 1 c sour cream stir until blended and heated through.
• season throughout cooking to taste.

Steps:

• The day before you want to make the soup. put the beans in a large bowl and add cold water to cover by several inches. Soak overnight (or at least 8 hours) in the refrigerator.
• Drain the beans and rinse. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery and leeks and season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook and stir until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and thyme and stir to coat the vegetables. Let the tomato paste toast for 1 minute, stirring, then add the bay leaves and 12 cups of water. Add the beans and nestle the ham bone in. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the beans are almost tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Add the escarole, another 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon salt. Return the soup to a simmer and cook until thickened and the beans and escarole are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the bay leaves and ham bone from the soup and let cool until you can handle the bone. Shred any useable meat left on the bone and stir back into the soup. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Fill a large soup pot with enough water to cover the ham bone, but don't add the bone yet. Bring to a boil.
• When boiling, add bouillon cubes and salt. Crush bouillon with a spoon until dissolved, then add ham bone, potatoes, onions, kidney beans, turmeric, and cloves. Stir to blend spices and return to a boil.
• Lower to medium-low heat and simmer until ham is hot and potatoes are easily pierced by a fork, about 1 hour.
• Remove ham bone. Shred meat and discard bone. Return meat to the soup, and serve.

Steps:

• Chop veggies and meat, then combine everything in a large stockpot -- going VERY EASY on the salt as your ham and bouillon might be salty enough already (you will test and add more later if needed).
• Stir, then bring to a boil over high heat.
• Don't walk away from the pot.as soon as it comes to a boil,stir, then lower the heat to low and drop a lid on the pot, venting just a bit for a few minutes so you don't have a boilover.
• As soon as the temperature drops enough to avoid a boilover (a few minutes), go ahead and let the lid sit fully on top of the pan.
• Let cook on low, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours,stirring once or twice, until all veggies are tender.
• Give the finished soup a taste test and adjust salt and other seasonings as needed.
