Tips:
- Choose the right type of country ham: Look for a ham that is fully cured and smoked, with a deep red color. Avoid hams that are labeled "picnic" or "shoulder," as these are not as flavorful.
- Soak the country ham overnight: This will help to remove some of the saltiness and make the ham more tender. You can also soak the ham for a shorter period of time, but the longer you soak it, the less salty it will be.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the soup. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions. You can also add other vegetables, such as green beans or corn.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just tender-crisp.
- Add seasonings to taste: This could include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot: This is a hearty and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day.
Conclusion:
Country ham and potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover country ham. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
