HAM, PARSNIP, AND KALE SOUP



Ham, Parsnip, and Kale Soup image

I couldn't find a recipe with ham and white kidney beans, so I came up with this. Luckily, it came out exactly as I imagined. I simmered it all day, just because that's how I like to make my soup. But it was cooked within 30 minutes at a low boil, but had more flavor after a long simmer covered. I served with Italian 5-grain bread buttered and toasted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. A smoked ham hock or bone-in ham steak is best for this soup, as it will add a lot of flavor. You can also use leftover ham, but be sure to remove any fat or skin before adding it to the soup.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. Parsnips and kale should be cooked until tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season to taste. This soup is very versatile and can be seasoned to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. This soup is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as crusty bread, grated Parmesan cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Ham parsnip and kale soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. This soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
