Ham and Bean Soup Ham and Bean Soup
This isn't the most traditional way of making ham and bean soup but still has amazing flavor. I didn't use ham hock, ham shank or bacon which seems to be common. We used a homemade ham stock that we had in the freezer made from the bone of a spiral ham. For the ham chunks I used a combination of leftover ham from a holiday meal and the last bit of the ham I smoked this past summer. If you don't have smoked ham or double smoked in my case you can use a smoked turkey leg and let it simmer in the pot. Or even a drop or two of liquid smoke just to give the extra depth of flavor. Also used the dehydrated onion in place of fresh chopped because it seemed like it would just get lost in there. The only thing I might do differently next time is add spinach or another green to the party.

Black Bean (w/ Ham) Soup Black Bean (w/ Ham) Soup
This is a go to soup (meal) when I have leftover ham from a holiday meal. The smoked ham hock adds a great flavor. For a traditional Cuban meal, omit the meat and dairy, and serve with white rice. To “Mexican-ize” the dish, add some “heat” (jalapeno or hot sauce) within the cooking process and garnish with cilantro, salsa, etc.

With Thanksgiving over and LOTS of ham leftover, I thought of ways to get some use out of it without burning out my family with just reheating and serving as is. This is a great soup and a nice change from all the heavy Thanksgiving meals.
