Ham Bone Vegetable Soup 🍖🍅🥒🌽🥕| Southern Easy Recipe🥔🧅🧄🍲| Easter Leftovers 🐰🐇🌸💐🥀🐰🐇🌸💐🥀

Ham bone vegetable soup is delicious! This southern style soup's base is made by boiling a ham bone to make ham stock, then adding a large can of crushed tomatoes (or other canned tomato product). After making the base, all you have to do is add vegetables (frozen lima beans and frozen mixed vegetables makes this step easy), a potato or two, and leftover Easter ham. Onion soup mix--my secret ingredient in many recipes--and spices finish off the soup. This vegetable soup is colorful, delicious, and easy, so it's the perfect way to use up leftover Easter ham. If you want to learn how to make ham bone vegetable soup, be sure to watch this video! The first step is making the ham bone stock. After removing as much meat as I could, I boiled it with carrot, onion, garlic, celery, and bay leaf. When the stock was done, I poured 1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes into a pot and added an equal amount of stock. I added some garlic and onion before turning on the heat to simmer. Once the garlic and onions had lost some of their bite, I started adding the vegetables: a potato, 1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables, and 1 bag of frozen lima beans. I then added a pound of leftover ham meat: some of it was frozen, some of it came off the bone after boiling. Although the stock, vegetables, and smoked ham made the soup very flavorful, I added some spices and onion soup mix to really put the ham bone vegetable soup over the top. When I finally tried my ham bone vegetable soup, I realized just how good it was. The smokiness of the ham complemented the acidity of the tomato perfectly, and the vegetables added both color and flavor. Served with a slice of cornbread, this soup is a full meal. What's best about this ham bone vegetable soup recipe is that it's the perfect way to use up leftover Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas ham. If you have a lot of ham and you want a new recipe to switch things up a bit, be sure to try this soup!🍖🍅🥒🌽🥕🥔🧅🧄🍲 For more information about Southern food and Argentine cuisine, please visit my website: http://www.parnellthechef.com Social Media Links:   / parnellthechef     / parnellthechef     / parnellchef
