What to do with a bunch of
leftover reserved ham?
SOUP!
I made some ham / potato soup with the reserved ham from last night's cook. Pretty simple:
- Chopped some onions, celery, and carrots - tossed in a soup pot with some butter and salt to start cooking down
- Chopped some taters - I had some golden Yukons on hand - just scrubbed - didn't peel
- Chopped a cup or two of the PBC cooked ham from last night
- Once the veg was cooked / crisp added the taters and ham along with a couple / three cups of chicken stock
- Added some FS&B and brought to a boil - then reduced heat to keep a simmer for about 40 minutes
- Made a simple roux - 5 TBS butter and 5TBS flour - added 2 C milk slowly and cooked, stirring constantly till thick
- Added the roux to the soup and mixed till thickened
- Served with fresh home made bread and salad
The soup had a great smoky / charcoaly taste from the ham ... very nice...
