ISO: Summer Soup Recipe?

[srahndennis]

A few months ago someone posted a summer soup recipe that had a ham bone, lima beans and lots of other veggies. It was too hot in Texas to make it then and now I can't find the recipe!! Does anyone have it? I don't remember who posted it. TIA!!

I've shared this before, but as long as we are on summer soups---

I first made this soup two summers ago after serving a spiral-sliced ham at a family party. Ham bones provide the basis for a wonderful soup, but I wanted something different from the usual bean soup flavored with ham bone.

Ham Bone Vegetable Soup

1 ham bone, with some meat

4 cups (1 qt.) fresh or canned tomatoes
1 cup frozen lima beans
3 potatoes, diced
1 large onion
4 stalks celery, sliced
1 TBSP sugar

½ cup frozen peas
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
½ cup sliced fresh or frozen green beans

Salt & Pepper to taste (optional)

Simmer ham bone in one quart of water for 3 hours, adding more water as necessary. Drain, chop ham, remove excess fat, returning chopped ham and vegetables to pot. Add next 6 ingredients (through sugar) and simmer for 1 additional hour. Add corn, peas, and green beans and simmer for 10 more minutes or until they are tender. Correct seasoning and serve. Serves 6 to 8.

Derivation

This soup is an updated version of the recipe “Ham Bone Summer Soup” which appeared in the 1951 edition of The Southern Cookbook by Marion Brown.
