Ham and Veggie Soup
For Christmas we have a Honeybaked ham, not turkey. This past Christmas, instead of giving the ham bone to Hubby folks they suggested I keep it and make a soup. I thought it sounded like a good idea and knew I needed some recipe posts for my blog. So we kept it.
I hope you enjoy this – if you are vegetarian… sorry, you’ll have to come back for another recipe.

Hi Sarah, thanks for stopping by! It was my first time making this… I just grabbed stuff and it turned out soooo good. If you put it in the fridge and then reheat it, the broth thickens. It is very filling, too. 😉
I have a dutch oven that looks identical to that, but I’m sure mine is much older… it was my grandma’s 🙂
It was my first oven (it’s the red one). I want to sell it and buy the discontinued blue one though. I want to sell it for the price I can get the blue one (which is cheaper than I paid).
