This is a good way to use leftovers, but it wasn't an all out hit. I call it left over soup because I used our left over Thanksgiving food to make it. Aaron gave it a 6, Owen gave it a 7, I gave it an 8, and Noah gave it a 9. The problem was the broth and the ham didn't go well together. I don't know if I should've cut up the ham into smaller pieces, ours were bite size, or what, but it wasn't great together. Aaron and I and the boys all loved the actual soup, it was delicious, it was just the ham that wasn't quite right. Anyway, here's what I did.
2-3 c mashed potatoes and gravy
2-3 c ham, chopped
2 cans chicken broth
4 green onions
chives
1 can creamed corn or left over corn
1/2 c or so cream
1 T tapioca
Put all ingredients except cream in a crockpot and cook on low for as long as you would like. A half hour before serving, add the cream, stir it, turn temperature to high and remove the lid so the sauce can evaporate a little and thicken up. Serve.
If I may make a suggestion for using left overs with ham is to make a Shepherd's Pie. It would be really good. Just an idea. Love mom
