Title: Leftover Ham Soup
Post by: drholly on October 30, 2013, 02:03:40 PM
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 Yukon's 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 / charcoal taste from the ham ... very nice...  ;D

Looks Awesome David, that home made bread looks spectacular. Is that a oyster knife in your knife block?

Hey David very nice looking soup and bread. Sounds very warming, as it is rainy and cool on the deck of this cabin high above the White River. And it got the Rocky Seal of  Approval!  ;)
