HAM, BEAN AND SWISS CHARD SOUP
I saw a similar recipe made on TV and tried to duplicate it in order to use up an abundance of Swiss chard that I got from the farm this summer. We have been enjoying it regularly, so I thought I would share it here.

HAM & SWISS SOUP
This is the yummiest soup you will ever make. It's a wonderful way to warm up on a cold day and a great way to use up left over ham. If I don't have leftovers, I get a couple of 1/4 inch slices from the deli and cube it. You won't be able to have just one bowl. Cooking time will vary depending if you use fresh or frozen broccoli. Enjoy!

SWISS HAM AND POTATO SOUP
This is an easy soup recipe that I've been making since the early 70's. I love the flavors of the ham, swiss cheese and just a hint of nutmeg. This is a perfect soup for a chilly windy day. This was a favorite for my daughter and now she makes it for her family too. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, heat all ingredients, stirring occasionally. Be careful to not over heat. Heat just until hot and cheese is melted. Serve topped with cheese and/or real bacon bits.
- 2. Note: Don't leave the nutmeg out, I believe this is a key ingredient for the wonderful flavor of this soup.
Tips:
- Use flavorful ham: Choose a variety of ham that you enjoy the taste of. Smoked ham or a ham steak both work well.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a slow cooker, don't fill it more than two-thirds full. This will allow the soup to circulate and cook evenly.
- Add vegetables toward the end of cooking: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a few croutons are all great options.
Conclusion:
Ham and Swiss soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham. The combination of ham, Swiss cheese, and vegetables makes for a hearty and flavorful soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this ham and Swiss soup a try.
