HAM BONE AND VEGETABLE SOUP
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
Made this up after winning a ham at the company Christmas party. I'm not a big ham or soup fan, but the ham turned out pretty good and I thought I'd experiment with a soup to use up some of the leftovers. I couldn't find a recipe I liked, so I basically combined three recipes I found on 'Zaar. I'm a picky eater - don't like carrots or many types of beans - which is why I didn't stick to the navy bean/pea/carrot type recipes. I used cornstarch to thicken which didn't work very well. Another recipe recommended the potato flakes (which I don't have). I made my ham with looneytunesfan's Brown Sugar Honey Baked Ham recipe (#151563). The soup seemed sweet to me and I'm guessing it's because of the sugary ham. I think it turned out pretty good so I thought I'd share. Feel free to experiment or make suggestions. I'm more of a baker than a cook! :)

USING THE CHRISTMAS HAM BONE, MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD POTATO SOUP
This recipe is a "base" potato soup that is WONDERFUL as is, but with SO many possibilities! I dumped in a can on Niblets corn, and it became chowder! It was wonderful! How about: add Julienne'ed carrots close to the end; or 8 oz Velveeta cheese; or 2 cups cooked broccoli florets; or throw in some cooked shrimp and crab meat & some Cajun seasonings...; or any combination you can think of! YUM! If your hambone isn't too meaty, add a cup of shredded or chopped ham from leftovers.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Ham Bone: Select a meaty ham bone with plenty of marrow for a flavorful broth. Smoked ham bones impart a richer flavor compared to fresh ones.
- Soak the Ham Bone: Soaking the ham bone in cold water for at least 30 minutes helps remove excess salt and impurities, resulting in a cleaner-tasting broth.
- Roast the Ham Bone: Roasting the ham bone before simmering enhances its flavor and adds a beautiful golden brown color to the broth.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Experiment with different vegetables to create a flavorful and nutritious soup base. Common choices include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and potatoes.
- Add Herbs and Spices: Enhance the soup's flavor by adding herbs like parsley, thyme, or bay leaves, and spices like black peppercorns or chili flakes.
- Simmer for Rich Flavor: Allow the soup to simmer for at least 1-2 hours to extract maximum flavor from the ham bone and vegetables.
- Strain the Soup: Once the soup has simmered, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids, resulting in a smooth and flavorful broth.
- Add Meat and Vegetables: After straining, add cooked ham, shredded chicken, or vegetables of your choice to create a hearty and satisfying soup.
