This home-cooked ham, bean, and potato soup is thick and hearty, making it super-satisfying on a fall or winter day. It’s a very basic, traditional soup made with a ham bone and all the trimmings from a whole or pre-sliced baked ham. If you bake your own hams and have been throwing out the bones, you’re missing out on something very special!
