When i was a little kid and my dad would make this soup with left over ham - i called it "ockee" (like gross) so NO ONE ELSE would want to eat it. I was convinced that if i told everyone it was nasty they wouldn't eat it and i could have it all to myself! So our family since then has called it ockee bean soup!
Boil ham bone in water (save water)
Scrape meat off the bone (cut into 1" chunks)
(save time with the last step with cutting everything off the bone after you cook it initially, and save the bone in a seperate bag - then just put the ham chunks and bone in together and it's easier to get the bone out later!)
ADD:
Potatoes (2-3 medium cut into chunks)
1 1/2 cups corn
1 cup green beans
2 cans navy beans
1 cup peas
1 med onion, diced
1 cup broccoli
1 cup sliced celery
3-4 carrots sliced
Bring to boil, lower heat, simmer until potatoes are done
this is a very adaptable recipe i also added penni pasta to mine. if you don't have all the ingredients no big deal add what you have and either leave it out completely or subsitute it!
