Delicious homemade ham bone soup from leftover ham cooked on the stove. Made with beans, potatoes, carrots and slow cooked in a rich broth.

I always have a leftover ham bone when i cook my favorite Crock pot brown sugar ham… and making a soup with it is a great solution!

Slow simmering the broth is a key to a rich flavor. If you think you may have some turkey carcass leftovers from Thanksgiving too, try this Leftover turkey soup

Leftover ham bone soup ingredients

  • Leftover ham bone. Try to cut off fat as much as possible.
  • Beans. Any white or cream colored beans will work. I used butter beans here, but i also like this soup with white kidney beans or navy beans.
  • Carrots
  • Onion
  • Potatoes. Russet potatoes or any other will work
  • Bay leaves, salt and pepper. My ham bone and chopped ham was so salty, i didn’t have to add any additional salt.

How long is a ham bone good for

You will be safe to leave the ham bone in the fridge for up to 5 days. I did leave the bone for 7 days and it was fine but i don’t recommend it.

Can i freeze a ham bone?

Yes you can and you should if you feel like you are not going to be using it withing a week. Put it in a ziplock bag (better two) and freeze up to half a year. The earlier you will use it the better,  since it will start getting a freeze burn over time.ham bean soup
