An Easy Recipe for Leftover Ham

A traditional farm meal in the Midwest features meat and potatoes since this soup has both items it’s exactly the type of food you’ll find on many farmhouse tables.  This soup recipe is great because it’s easy.  It’s not the fanciest soup you’ve ever had, but it’s a tried and true recipe that is fairly healthy, cheap and EASY!

Friends came over and enjoyed this Easy Root Beer Glazed Ham.  There is so much good ham left around the bone and this is the perfect recipe to make use of all of those little pieces of ham!  We had so much extra ham that we just made a big batch of ham and potato soup and froze some.  Planning ahead saved time and money and makes for easy lunches.

A bag of frozen corn to adds more vegetables to the meal.  The can of cheddar cheese soup to makes it cheesier and creamier.   And we garnished our bowls with sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream and green onion.  Serve in a cute white bowl and enjoy!

Leftover Ham

We love making big hams and using leftovers in easy dishes like this Farmhouse Ham & Potato Soup.  Our kids will eat meals with ham, so that makes it even more of a mealtime winner!  We use nice slices of leftover ham for sandwiches, but chunks and pieces of leftover ham fit perfectly into soup!

Another of our favorite leftover ham recipes is Ham and Alfredo Spaghetti.

We hope you enjoy these classic ham recipes from our farmhouse table as much as we do!
