With the cooler temperatures the comfort of a warm bowl of soup sounds amazing! 🥣
Many of us saved the ham bone 🍖 from Easter. Today is a great day to make a soup with it! 🥣
I have shared a classic recipe…but I always just add any and all veggies I have around. To this recipe I will be adding fresh peas, mushrooms and herbs.
