This is a super simple recipe using a leftover ham bone. So, after most of that holiday ham is devoured, you can take the bone and leftover ham scraps and make a tasty soup. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE soup when it’s cold outside. Unfortunately, for some reason it was 70°F outside today and there is a tornado warning. Yes, I said tornado warning…in southern New York. Well, we can eat this inside bundled up and pretend its cold outside.
Leftover update: If you make a cup of white rice, or even take some leftover Chinese white rice, add it to your leftover soup in a pot and warm up on medium low heat- it turns into a delicious thick stew!


Food is the epicenter of my family's universe. Not to sound like one of those cheesy bios from the side of a cheap wine box, but the Ricco's have cultivated generations and generations of recipes and fond memories gathered around the dining room table.
