Ham & Potato Soup
1 large ham bone
5 cups of hot water
Cook ham bone in hot water on low for 3 hours. Remove ham bone making sure to scrape off any meat left on the bone and put back in the ham broth, set aside.
7-8 medium/large potatoes, peeled and diced into 1" cubes
1 large onion, diced
3-4 large carrots, chopped
2 cups of ham diced
1 cup heavy cream (or milk)
1 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
4-5 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Add diced potatoes, onion, carrots, and ham to ham broth. Cook on medium heat until potatoes and carrots are done.
