Ham-and-Bean Soup With Fresh Spinach
This soup recipe is a great way to use leftover holiday ham. You'll need about 2 cups to replace the ham steak. Don't forget to toss in the bone for added flavor.
How to Make It
Step 1
Trim fat from ham steak; coarsely chop ham. Reserve bone.
Step 2
Cook ham in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring often, 6 to 8 minutes or until browned. Add diced onion, and next 5 ingredients, and sauté 5 minutes or until onion is tender.
Step 3
Stir in reserved ham bone, navy beans, and next 3 ingredients; add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes. Remove and discard bone before serving. Stir in spinach just before serving. Garnish, if desired.

This is delicious. I did not add the potatoes. My entire family loves this recipe. It's a definite keeper. My mom was skeptical and told me that is not how she made ham and beans but after she tried it she said it was very good too. I served with sweet corn bread.

This is a great way to use leftover ham from the holidays, especially on cold night! I added a little cayenne pepper to kick it up. I will definitely add this one to my favorites!
