If you're like me, you probably have leftover ham from Easter! I made a smoked ham butt and I saved the bone with about 1/2 lb of meat attached! This is my favorite ham & bean soup...or hambone soup, as I usually call it! I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com. This recipe says to cook the soup for 8 hours but it was perfect after only 4 hours! I served it with homemade cornbread. A great hearty, filling soup!
And for a quick and delicious cornbread to go with the Ham and Bean soup, I used this recipe because it was simple and I had all the ingredients in my pantry! This cornbread was nice and dense, which was perfect for dipping into the soup!
