Ham Bone Soup Recipe
Description
This soup begins by sautéing onions, celery, and garlic until softened, then adding chicken broth, water, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, leftover ham bone, and ham. Using either an Instant Pot on high pressure or a slow stovetop simmer, the ingredients cook until the vegetables are tender and the broth is infused with smoky ham flavor. Cabbage is added toward the end for a few minutes of cooking to keep a slight crunch and lightness.
Resulting in a nourishing and filling soup, this recipe efficiently repurposes leftover ham bone and ham meat into a comforting bowl with a balanced mix of vegetables. It works well for making use of leftovers after a holiday or special meal.
