Ingredients
8 Cups of water1 left over hambone4 cups diced ham1 pound baby carrots2 1 pound packages cut green beans1 large red tomato2 T butter1/4 cup chopped onion1 T flour
Directions
Simmer your hambone in 8 cups of water about 2 hours - until the meat on the bone is tender and is falling off.
Remove the bone and let cool enough to handle.
Put the carrots and green beans in and let simmer until done.
Cut the meat off the bone (when making the recipe I had 4 cups of diced ham)
When the vegetables are nearly done chop the tomato and add, then add the ham.
When the carrots are tender - in a seperate pan on a low heat, saute the onions in the butter, as they brown slowly add the flour to make a roux. As it browns add a little of the broth from the soup to thin it a little, then add that to the entire pot of soup to thicken to desired consistency. (Will thicken upon standing)
This was calculated for an estimated 16 servings
