Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use a good quality ham: The ham is the star of this soup, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a ham that is smoked and fully cooked, with a nice smoky flavor.

  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to your liking.
  • Garnish before serving: A simple garnish can really elevate the look of your soup. Try adding a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a few croutons.
