Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
3 pounds smoked ham hocks
3/4 pound russet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled, diced
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup pearl barley, rinsed
2 teaspoons dried oregano
8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Bring broth and ham hocks to boil in large pot. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes. Add diced potatoes, tomatoes with juices, onion, carrots, celery, barley, and oregano. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until meat and barley are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Using tongs, remove ham hocks from soup. Cut meat off bones and chop coarsely. Return meat to soup; discard bones. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before continuing.) Add green beans; simmer until beans are tender, about 15 minutes. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will use less ham next time.
