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.

Got some leftover roast ham? Sick of ham sandwiches? Make this soup!Here’s the long version for inspiration, but you can happily cut out half these steps (eg frying the ham, puréeing half the lentils, etc.) and it would still be delicious, hearty, and an economical winter warmer. Use whatever root veggies you’ve got on hand. Add any dairy/green veg/lemon right near the end.

A friend asked me to make her some Pea Soup with Ham. If she wants me to make something for her ( she works seven days a week taking care of people) , she provides most of the food items, I provide some and she will share with us.

This is my version..

I got the idea for this miso soup from the miso ramen that's popular in my home region.The onion and bean sprouts will be crispier if you don't stir-fry them for too long. A drizzle of soy sauce at the very end really rounds out the flavor. So if you're adding miso, go easy on the soy sauce amount so the end result won't be too salty. For 2 servings.

This soup is great after a holidays when ham goes on SALE! The first ham I bought in the early 90's was on sale for .69 cents per pound, I still try and get it for that price today!

After Christmas we always have left over ham. After 1-2 day of eating ham it gets boring. So I like to make new dishes with left overs.

Our budget was broke, so my mom & I cooked up this soup for our meals. Hope you like it.

So so good. Takes an eternity to get this on the plate. But well worth the wait.

Really good for cold days. My son really likes it and has some of the Mexican hint to it for my Mexican husband
