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.

  • For a more flavorful soup, use ham bone instead of ham steaks or cubes. The bone will add a rich, savory flavor to the broth.
  • If you don't have any ham on hand, you can use chicken or beef broth instead. Just be sure to add some salt and pepper to taste.
