Delicious Ham Bone Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons bacon grease
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3 potatoes, diced
• 8 cups hot water
• 8 cubes chicken bouillon
• 1 ham bone
• 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 0.5 (16 ounce) package frozen corn
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Gather all of the necessary ingredients.
2. In a large skillet, melt bacon grease over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in the hot bacon grease until the vegetables are slightly tender and aromatic, approximately 5 minutes.
3. Incorporate potatoes into the onion mixture; continue to cook and stir until they achieve a golden-brown color, about 10 minutes.
4. In a slow cooker, combine hot water and chicken bouillon until the bouillon has fully dissolved. Introduce the onion mixture, ham bone, diced tomatoes, corn, tomato sauce, black pepper, and salt.
5. Allow the soup to cook in the slow cooker on the Low setting for 4 to 6 hours. Once cooked, carefully remove the ham bone from the soup and let it cool until it's safe to handle. Extract the meat from the ham bone and mix it back into the soup.
