Leftover Ham Soup
"We had milk and ham to use, so I came up with this. Richard and I agree this is something that is not the best as a leftover so have people over to eat it. This tastes very rich but is tasty. I hope you like it."

This is, by far, the BEST soup I've ever made! I didn't have leeks on hand, but half a medium white onion chopped worked quite well. The whole family loved it! -
This is by far the best leftover ham soup I've made, and I have made quite a few. The taste was wonderful and the thicker broth was a nice change. I made Recipe #256872 to serve this soup in and it was a very hearty and filling meal. Thanks for keeper! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag Spring 2013.

I love to cook and have been expanding my knowledge here for over a year. My fiancee moved in with me around the time I started frequenting this site because I had to make the same things taste different so we will not get bored. I am about to graduate with my BFA in Art Education in May. My wedding is in June, soooo my plate is pretty full physically and metaphorically... I think the greatest thing about this site is not only do you learn new ways to cook great tasting meals, but you also become more capable of making up your own recipes.
