HAM BONE AND VEGETABLE SOUP



Ham Bone and Vegetable Soup image

I was looking for a good use of a ham bone without the heavy cream of a potato soup. I made use of a few other recipes to come up with one that I thought my husband and I would like. I think it is important to start with the three basics: onion, celery, and carrots. In addition, you can add a variety of different vegetables to suit your taste or depending on what you have in the house at the time.

HAM BONE SOUP



Ham Bone Soup image

Don't let that leftover bone from your holiday smoked ham go to waste! Put it to use in this hearty, delicious soup, which can be made with ingredients you probably have in your fridge and pantry. It's nice if you have a little meat left clinging to the bone after you've carved off all the ham, but even if you don't, the bone alone will add rich flavor and smokiness to the dish. You'll need to soak the dried beans overnight, so plan accordingly. Luckily this recipe makes a big batch as the soup keeps well in the freezer (see Cook's Note).

Time 9h40m

Yield about 3 quarts; 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 leftover ham bone
1 head escarole, coarsely chopped (about 6 cups)
