Recipes are great but I don't usually follow one. Boil the ham bone in enough water to cover it. Once it is falling off the bone take the bone and meat out of the water. You can put navy beans, pinto beans or potatoes into water and cook til done. Add seasoning to taste. To make potato soup thicker you can mash half the potatoes.


It is really easy to do any of the above
Right here...





Onions


olive oil


celery


carrots


a bouquet garne (a spice wrap made of thyme leaves sage rosemary and parsley all tied together with a string)


2 Whole garlic cloves


2 Bay leaves


The bone


Lentils or split peas or even white beans... Whatever you like





Pasta or rice? Whatever you like I use ditalini pasta.





Saute the vegetables garlic and bay leaves in the olive oil


Add the bone and the spices


cover with chicken stock or water or half and half


Salt and pepper


allow it to simmer for a few hours


Strain everything out into a large stock pot through a mesh strainer


disgard the bits and pieces


Add new diced vegetables


pieces of ham


the legumes and or beans


the rice or pasta and cook until done.





If you like them, add 1 large can of chopped tomatoes.





Best soup you'll ever eat! Serve hot with parmasean cheese and crusty bread!
I like to make a nice Navy Bean soup. Soak the beans overnight then simmer them with the ham and some favorite veggies for about an hour. Delicious!!

Do you like split pea soup? If so, buy a bag of split peas at the market, the recipe for split pea soup on the bag is a classic and delicious. If you don't like split pea soup, I'd try the Martha Stewart website...it will allow search options in the recipe section that should help you. Bon appetite.

Well, funny you should ask...








MY ';WORLD FAMOUS'; HAM %26amp; BEAN SOUP





1 ham bone


1 smoked ham hock (split in half)


3 to 5 quarts canned chicken stock (like College Inn) (low sodium is good)


--OR--


Water with Chicken ';Knorr'; or liquid Bovril--the dry stuff is 98% salt and you don't want that!!!


Diced celery (about 1 cup)


2 cans stewed tomatoes


About 2 - 3 pounds cut up ham, depending on how ';meaty'; you want it


1 can each:


Dark red kidney beans


Light red kidney beans


Butter Beans


Black Beans





Seasonings %26amp; Herbs (dried):


Parsley


Oregano


Dill Weed


Celery Seed


Basil


Tarragon


Paprika


Black Pepper


Garlic Powder





Blackberry Merlot (or similar fruity red wine)--about a cup.





METHOD:


Combine everything EXCEPT the canned beans and Merlot into a large stock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 2 to 3 hours. When the meat falls off the bones and ham hock remove the bones and add the Merlot; reduce heat and continue to simmer gently for another half hour.





About 30 minutes before serving add the canned beans. If you add them at the beginning they will dissolve and you won't have any beans in your soup! Trust me on this one, I've done it.





This makes about 5 or 6 quarts of good soup that freezes beautifully. Use your own tatse buds to determine the amount of herbs/seasonings you'll need. I have also thrown in some green jalapeno sauce and it adds a lot of taste without making it too zippy.





Last time I made this I threw in some leftover boiled redskin potatoes and it was...pardon the pun...';SOUP-ER';!





I also like to add fresh green baby spinach. Remove the soup from the heat, stir in the freshly washed leaves of spinach and serve. Makes a very pretty and colorful soup


This is a delicious soup and is all you need on a wintery day--with some crusty bread and maybe some nice Swiss or Gruyere cheese shaved into it. Or serve some nice homemade cornbread...YUMMY!





Might be a Pennsylvania thing, but we like to serve white vinegar splashed into it--seems to ';wake up'; the flavor a bit. It is such an adaptable recipe, you could add almost anything and it would still taste wonderful.





It's really very easy and makes the whole house smell great on a cold day.








Hope this helps.





ENJOY!

Your grandmother. Her generation didn't waist anything, and found nutritious ways in which to use such things, such as scraple, bean soups, brothes to add to other dishes.
