Make Your Own Discard Ham and Potato Soup

“With it still being cold in most of the country, it's not too late to make soup for dinner. It would be a great way to use up any leftover Easter or Christmas ham.”


I would love more FREE recipes and tips straight to my IN BOX!

This soup was simply delicious. Soups and stews are becoming one of my favorite ways to use up discard. I might not be saying that when the temperatures in Arizona start to exceed 100º.
