I made ham for Christmas day and saved the bone. Yesterday it rained and I wanted soup.
I put the bone 🍖 in a pot of water and simmered for around 6 hours. Skimming the gunk off the top while simmering.
I then filtered the bone and fat pieces out of the broth. I kept on a simmer while adding chopped ham that was leftover, 1 can of navy beans (which was not enough), 1 roughly chopped onion 🧅, 2 large roughly chopped carrots 🥕, gold potatoes 🥔 chopped, few teaspoons minced garlic 🧄 and salt and pepper.
Everything added, except the potatoes and simmered for another hour or two, added the potatoes and cooked for another 30 minutes. Then served.
Below is a link to a recipe similar to what I used.
