Ham Bone Soup Recipe

Ham Bone Soup Recipe uses leftover ham bone and chopped ham combined with vegetables like onion, celery, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage cooked in chicken broth for a hearty, savory soup. Pressure cooking or stovetop simmering tenderizes the vegetables and extracts rich flavor from the ham bone, delivering a warming broth with chunks of ham and vegetables throughout. Cabbage added near the end retains some texture and freshness.

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.
