Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

For The Broth:

  • 1 C Carrots
  • 1 C Celery
  • 2 packages of Instant Mashed Potatoes your choice of flavor
  • Chicken Broth Cubes 2 for flavor or you can use Veggie Broth as well
  • 7 + Cups of Water. 1 Cup for initial sweating of veggies, additional 7 cups for broth while cooking base
  • 6 + Cups of Water for Potato Preparation 4 Cups for 2 bags + 2 additional Cups to thin it out
  • 1 whole Medium Onion- peeled chopped

For The HAM:

  • One Hambone Meat left on it
  • Ham Meat I processed mine in the Ninja-separate any meat you can from the bone and then mince in Ninja or by hand, hold onto bone as it will cook in the soup.

Instructions
 

  • Cream Of Ham Soup
  • First gather the meat from the ham bone, and in one bowl, place meat and the other retain the bone.
  • Mill together the veggies: celery, onion and carrot.
  • Place this in the pot with one cup of water, the 2 broth cubes and allow the veggies to sweat.
  • In this process, the veggies will turn translucent and soften.
  • Add in the meat to begin blending the flavor. Also add in the bone.
  • The whole sweating process takes about 1/2 hour(on med-lo heat) but it can take more or less depending on your stove-top.
  • As you can see, I chopped my onions, Ninja'd my carrots, and celery and then I also left a few pieces chunky(meat, celery and carrots) for that authenticity of right off the bone
  • Once the veggies sweat, it is time to add liquid to the mix.
  • Fill The pot up and then cook on Medium Heat for one hours so that the liquid blends with the veggies.
  • Cover and let cook. I will say this was 6+ more cups of water, it will vary from pot to pot, but this is based on MY recipe and pot!
  • While the soup broth/base was cooking I prepared my potatoes.
  • In a separate bowl, prepare the potatoes. Follow the prep for the basic Instant Potatoes on the back of each bag, and then add 2 more cups of water to thin the potatoes out. You can see the consistency you are looking for in my images
  • Once the potatoes are done, wait for the base to finish cooking. Then you will mix the potatoes to the base and you will have Cream of Ham Bone Soup.
  • Serve!
