Southern Ham and Shrimp Soup

"I first made this soup because I had a lot of ham left over from Easter. I wasn't that familiar with cooking with okra, but it was really delicious in this soup! We have this often during winter, and when I don't have any leftover ham I just buy a ham slice or purchased pre-diced ham pieces in the meat section."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
