This is not my recipe (but it is my photo). It’s one I found on the internet a couple of years ago. Back then, just like this year, I had tons of ham leftover from Christmas. I was searching the web to find something I could do with it. I found this recipe that calls for ham steak, but I just cut up chunks of my leftover ham.
Instead of typing out the recipe, I’ll share the link for you here. This has plenty of vegees, and without the ham, vegetarians might like it too. Except, you may need to add some more seasonings, as the ham gives it a lot of flavor. The only thing I suggest doing different from the recipe is add more water. It calls for 1 cup, but I suggest two or more. You can also click on the link above the photo.
Great idea, Lori. I agree with Viveka, a bit like Irish stew with ham. Now I am very hungry.
I made it twice already with the leftover ham. It is yummy. Thanks for stopping by, Lauren.
Great ideas for leftover ham.
This is really good for you northerners in the winter too. Thanks for stopping by, Anneli.
Yes, we crave “stick-to-your-ribs” food. Unfortunately it also sticks to the thighs.;-)
We bought a huge ham on sale after Christmas and have already made one round of soup with the leftovers. This could be a good one for the next round!
Perfect timing then. Enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.
That would make a great St Patrick’s day dinner . . . what with the cabbage carrots.
Yes, great idea for St. Patrick’s day, Robin. Thanks for stopping by.
Can’t beat a Reuben on St. Paddy’s day tho.
Oh my gosh, does this look good! I am suppose to make split pea soup (minus the ham) tonight but don’t know if that will happen. If not today–tomorrow. I would lap up this soup in a second. Looks good, Lori!
I like split pea soup too. My mom’s is my favorite. I had enough ham leftover for a huge pot of split pea and this ham stew. Thanks for stopping by, Kathy.
That looks really good. I love the allrecipes.com site. I use it a lot and find lots of great ideas there.
I use allrecipes.com frequently too. Love to read the options that the reviewers offer too. Thanks for coming over and commenting, Carrie.
My pleasure.
Wish I cooked and had left over ham to use!
You could always buy ham. We got a huge ham as a gift and have no one else to eat it with. So, lots of hearty ham stew for us. Thanks for stopping by, Linda.
Wish I had so of your ham! I’ll just pretend. Thank you Lori, for the lovely meal. You’ll come on over to my place anytime for P & B sandwiches!
Plenty of the ham stew here, come on over.
This is hearty and comfortable food – a bit like Irish stew with ham – like this a lot. goes on file.
For sure, it’s comfort food. Thanks for stopping by, Viveka.
