Ham Bone Soup
If you recall the Easter ham incident of 2010, well O.G. of course, ended up dumping that ham bone on me. I decided to make a very quick and easy soup out of it.
ingredients:
1 ham bone with/meat
1 cup onion, diced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with juice
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups green beans
1 cup corn
If you are dumb like me and accidently bought WHOLE tomatoes instead of crushed (grr), simply take some clean kitchen shears and cut the tomatoes up right in the can. Problem solved!
Put the ham bone, onion, tomatoes, chicken stock and water into a slow cooker. Add the garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Cover, and cook on low for 5 hours. Take out the ham bone and carve off the meat and add it back into the soup. Add the beans and the corn, cook for another 1-2 hours.
I wanted to come up with something simple and flavorful. I think you’ll be surprised at how tasty this soup is, with very little ingredients.
I took the soup to O.G’s house and served it with Sausage + Onion muffins. A nice warm dinner!
Looks good. I froze my bone (that sounds wrong) and I am looking for something to do w/ it. I want to make a ham soup with white beans.
I’m no cook, but it turned out good!
Instead of just a ham bone, I put a whole ham steak in there.
I love ham.
To save time, I pan-seared the ham and onions, then boiled them with the tomatoes and salt and pepper for an hour instead of 5 hours.
I also added ramen noodles to a small batch 3 minutes before serving for my 5 year old son – he loves the movie Ponyo, and it’s the best way for me to get him to eat any hind of soup.
