ingredients
directions
- Place potatoes and ham bone in a large pot and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about ½ hour (water should be reduced by at least 1/4).
- Dump out about 1/3 of the remaining water and remove the ham bone.
- With a potato masher, mash about ½ the potatoes.
- Add remaining ingredients to the pot.
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic to taste.
- While the soup returns to a boil, cut the meat off the bone.
- Put meat and bone back into pot.
- Cover and simmer until carrots and onions are tender, stirring every few minutes (the potatoes that have been mashed will settle and burn to the bottom if not stirred frequently).
- Remove the bone before serving.
- *Note: This soup is also excellent if you add cheese about 10 minutes before serving. I especially like it with Old English or Smokey Cheddar.
