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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste better. Choose organic vegetables, high-quality ham, and a flavorful broth.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
  • Let the soup cool slightly before serving: This will help prevent the soup from curdling when you add the cream.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a crusty bread roll.

This creamy ham and veggie soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
