Green Beans and New Potatoes Soup

This recipe for Green Beans and New Potatoes Soup will make a great meal when fresh green beans and new potatoes are in season. Green Bean and Potato Soup makes good use of leftover ham.

2 lbs fresh green beans
1 leftover hambone or hamhocks
6-7 medium red potatoes
½ cup diced onion
¼ tsp pepper
1-2 cups leftover cubed ham

Put the hambone in a large pot, with most of the ham cut off and set aside.

Wash green beans trim the ends and cut in pieces. Add the beans to the hambone in the pot and add water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes.

Wash the potatoes and leave them unpeeled and cut in half. Add the potatoes, onion, pepper and cubed ham chunks and cook for another 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the hambone and pick off any remaining pieces of meat to add back into the pot. This is a good way to use that leftover ham without a lot of fuss.

This can go in the slow cooker on low for 8-9 hours instead. Serve with rolls or cornbread.
