One delicious way to use up those leftover holiday ham is to make this Ham and White Bean Soup!
So we’re not done yet with leftovers.

Friends from CDO sent us their yummy Holiday Ham during the Christmas season plus there’s also a ham giveaway from peanutbutter♥‘s office. We had too much ham to handle over the holidays and now has a lot of leftovers. That means you’ll probably see a few leftover ham recipes here at The Peach Kitchen as I try to turn them into something different this start of the year.
Let me start with this Ham and White Bean Soup. I feel that with this soup I’m slowly easing myself into healthier eating because it contains a lot of vegetables. I’m slowly shying away from carbs as I’ve must have eaten a truckload the past two and a half weeks.
I am a soup person. I could eat any kind of soup for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and enjoy it. However not everyone is like me here at home and this soup needs to be accompanied by a sandwich, fish, or chicken. So I fried fish for them and they ate this with rice…heehee
Tomorrow is the start of another busy weekend. It’s my MIL’s 70th birthday and my peanutbutter♥ only gets one day off as they transition into new rest days. Oh, and Ykaie is back having Math classes on saturdays.
Happy Friday you guys!

Such a comforting and delicious lunch!
Ham leftovers are so much fun to use! Flavorful, and really versatile. Always like to pair the leftovers with beans in a soup — wonderful comfort food. Thanks!
Thanks John!
This looks really good and something I’d love to try!
OMG this looks absolutely amazing. I wish I had some ham on hand to make this tomorrow!!
My husband is not a fan of *my* white beans. I do think he may enjoy your soup variety better. It seems to have more of his favorite ingredients.
This recipe looks delicious! Perfect way to use some leftovers!
