ideas for hambone instead of splitpea soup

[Rio]

Well, I have a beautiful hambone and after 20 plus years of making spliltpea soup with it after Easter, I need to change my tradition -too many carbs in peas. Does anyone have other soup ideas where the ham flavor will work? thanks

Just make a stock and freeze it for flavouring stir-frys and other things.

(or freeze it till you reach OWL)

How about making a vegetable soup with it?

the stock until the legume rung is good idea if you only like it in soup. you can use it to flavor your greens like collards or your green beans ot use it as the flavoring in your ratatoue soup that is induction legal if you leave out the pasta and legumes.

Cut it in little bones and freeze them.
I use ham bones in all my soups: ham bone, chicken breast, boiled egg, water, 1 carrot, 1 leek, 1/2 onion and salt.
Then I serve the soup with the minced boiled egg and minced chicken breast.

Induction Friendly Mock Split Pea Soup

1 bag frozen green beans
1/2 cup green onion chopped
1/2 cup celery chopped
1 garlic clove chopped
1 bay leaf
4 cups (or more) of ham stock
1-3 cups water (optional)
1/2 cup ham or cooked bacon pieces

In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil (or bacon grease). Saute the onion and celery until soft. Add the green beans, bay leaf and 2 cups of stock. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, until the green beans are soft.

Remove from heat, remove bay leaf. In batches, put the green bean mixture into a food processor or blender, pulse a few times for a "chunky" texture or process until completely smooth, depending on how you like your soup. I prefer mine with a little texture so I keep one cup of the bean mixture "chunky" and puree the rest of it until smooth. Return the soup to the pot. Add enough stock and/or water to your desired thickness and bring to a boil. Add the ham or cooked bacon pieces. Allow to simmer.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Like a regular split pea soup, it tastes better the next day. And it freezes well.

Mmmm, that sounds good. Thanks Megs!

I think it would be delicous in a cabbage soup or even a cauliflower soup.

great ideas!

I told my dh you all would come up with good ideas. Thanks a lot!

Rio, I had one more thought about it. I have this recipe for Pazole soup, which unfortunately, I can no longer eat, but the broth was absolutely delicious and it was made with chicken stock and ham hocks. I bet if you put that ham bone in with any chicken stock that it would make a great soup.

That´s how I cooked the broth for my risotto. With a nice ham bone! I miss rice sooooo much!
