Leftovers Recipe?

Im fresh out of soup recipes, but one thing I made with my leftover ham was ham/potato hash that turned out raelly good. Just fry up some potatoes to your desired doneness and add ham, and maybe some onion and bell pepper. Fry until perfectly brown and delicious. Top with some fried eggs.

How about some good old fashioned split pea or lentil soup with ham? You can go the very easy route by purchasing already made split pea or lentil, or you can make your own by cleaning a bag of lentils (or peas) and putting them into a sauce pan with 6 cups of chicken broth, 1 onion, diced, 1 carrot, diced, and 1 stalk of celery diced. Bring to a boil and simmer. Add your chopped up ham and 1 Tsp thyme and simmer until lentils or peas are tender and the soup has thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer more veges, then chop those up and add during the cooking process. Serve with a green salad and warm bread!

Smoky Corn and Potato Chowder

1 cup shredded smoked cheddar, swiss or gouda cheese

green onion chopped

This is really yummy; I usally have to double this reciepe since I have a family of 5 which include two hungry boys.

If you all have tons of ham leftover from Easter, here is a great recipe to use some of it up. I made this last week and it is very good.

Enjoy!
