Easy Ham Hock Soup (Perfect for Leftover Ham)

If you’re looking for a simple, comforting way to use up leftover ham, this ham hock soup is it. Made with just a handful of ingredients, this easy soup simmers low and slow to create a rich, flavorful broth with tender chunks of ham, hearty potatoes, and fresh green beans.

Growing up, anytime we had ham for dinner, my mom would make this ham bone soup for dinner the next night. It was a filling, comforting, and budget-friendly way to feed a large family. I find myself craving it now whenever we have ham. I know exactly where my leftover Easter ham is going this year!

Why You’ll Love This Ham Hock Soup

  • Uses a leftover ham bone or ham hock
  • Just 4 simple ingredients (plus water)
  • Simmers hands-off for rich, flavorful broth
  • Cozy, filling, and perfect for cold nights
  • Naturally salty and savory without extra seasoning

Ingredients for Ham Hock Soup

You really only need 4 ingredients to make this ham hock soup. That’s the beauty of a ham hock. It adds all the flavor you need to the broth and gives you yummy chunks of ham as well. Here is what you will need:

  • Ham Bone: You can use a leftover ham bone from your spiraled ham or you can ask for a ham bone from the butcher. Make sure there is still some meat left on the bone.
    • NOTE: We actually bought a ham hock from our favorite pork farm, Christiansen. You can order online. Seriously the best pork ever.
  • Potatoes: Red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes work great.
  • Fresh Green Beans: I secretly prefer home canned green beans because I love how soft they get, but if I don’t have home canned, then it’s absolutely fresh green beans.
  • Water: Used to boil the ham bone and becomes the base of the soup.
  • Pepper: Adds flavor.

You might be surprised to see that there isn’t any salt in this recipe. Ham, and especially a ham hock is a very salty pork so as the ham hock simmers, it flavors the broth with enough salt for my taste. You can of course add salt if you would like.

How to Make Ham Hock Soup

This ham and vegetable soup simmers low and slow, creating a rich broth with tender ham and vegetables. The broth simmers all day and the vegetables get added just before serving. It’s so simple!

  1. Simmer: Place the ham hock in a large stock pot and fill it with water until it just covers the bone. Let it come to a soft boil and let it cook all day long or at least 3-4 hours.
  2. Shred the Meat: An hour before dinner, pull out the bone, shred the meat, add the meat in and let it simmer.
  3. Add the Vegetables: A half hour before dinner, add the green beans and potatoes. Let them simmer for 30 more minutes. Season to taste with pepper.

I know, it’s simple, but trust

If you’re searching for the best carrot cake recipe, you’re in the right place. This is the carrot cake I come back to every single time! It’s perfectly moist, deeply spiced, and layered with rich cream cheese frosting.

No raisins, no nuts, no weird add-ins trying to steal the spotlight. Just classic carrot cake flavor done really, really well.

I only had carrot cake for the first time a few years ago. My good friend, Melissa Brandley was in town for the Sundance Film Festival and we went out to dinner for a good ol’ catch up on all things in life. We laughed until our sides hurt, cried together right there in the restaurant and had the most delicious carrot cake.  That carrot cake inspired me to create this recipe, my Favorite Carrot Cake.

I’m not a fan of carrot cakes that are full of all sorts of ingredients like orange peel, candied ginger, walnuts, pecans, and raisins. At that point it gets too busy and almost doesn’t even seem like a cake anymore. I want fresh, moist and flavorful, and I want it to taste like a carrot cake.

Why This is the Best Carrot Cake Recipe

This really is the best carrot cake recipe because it keeps things simple and lets the cake shine. It’s incredibly moist, perfectly spiced, and made without raisins, nuts (optional), or distractions. The carrots melt right into the batter, the crumb stays soft for days.
