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

This Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe is high in protein, easy to make, and loved by both kids and adults! It’s the perfect way to use leftover hard-boiled eggs from Easter. Egg salad is a classic staple for every household and is great to enjoy at home or on the go.

I’ll be honest, I’d never even tried egg salad because I didn’t see the point. And really, how often are you even offered egg salad? For me, basically never! Then one day we went to a new sandwich shop and my husband ordered an egg salad sandwich. I was genuinely confused. We’d been married over five years and I’d never once seen him eat it. He said he’d always liked egg salad, he just never thought to make it. Interesting.

Then I got pregnant, got sick, lived on IV therapy for a while, and completely forgot egg salad even existed. Until this past week. And wow. It’s delicious. I love deviled eggs so why didn’t I think about trying egg salad? I’ve clearly been missing out. So consider this your sign. Try it for lunch, dinner, a snack, as a sandwich, on crackers, or in a wrap. However you eat it, just try it.

Ingredients for Egg Salad Sandwiches

There are a million egg salad sandwich recipes out there, but none of them are going to be as glorious as this one. These are the ingredients you will need:

• Mayonnaise: It has to be Hellman’s. Trust me on this one.
• Dijon or Yellow Mustard: I usually reach for Dijon, but yellow works just fine if that’s what you have.
• Stoneground Mustard: Adds an extra layer of flavor and a little texture that makes the salad more interesting.
• White Vinegar or Lemon Juice: The acid is key to getting the flavor just right and balancing the richness.
• Fresh Chives: Bring a subtle onion and garlic flavor without overpowering the eggs.
• Fresh Parsley: Adds a bright, fresh note that keeps the salad from feeling heavy.
• Fresh Dill Weed: You can’t miss that classic dill flavor. It’s essential for a proper egg salad.
• Kosher Salt: Season thoughtfully and taste often until it’s just right.
• Black Pepper: Adds flavor with the tiniest hint of heat.
• Hard-Boiled Eggs: Use your preferred method. We have posts for both stovetop and Instant Pot.
• 7-Grain Bread: High quality is key so it can stand up to the creamy egg salad.
• Green Leaf Lettuce: I love the crunch and the fresh, bright contrast it adds.

The measurements for each ingredient are listed in the recipe card at the end of the post. You can also save or print the recipe from there.
