Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I made up lots of extra bone broth stock last month and froze it. Yesterday I found a leftover piece of ham back in the freezer, so bought some white northern beans. I washed and soaked the beans last night. Today I rinsed the beans. Then I lightly cooked celery and onions in butter, garlic, sage, salt & pepper. Cubed the ham, cut up potatoes and carrots. Threw it all together and covered with chicken bone broth. I added bay leaves. I have two large pots simmering on the back of the stove. One for supper (and lunches later this week) and the other to freeze and be used some night when I'm to busy to cook. My husband says his mouth is watering from the smell. Thought I'd share because this is inexpensive good food out of leftover ham and chicken bone broth.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Kathy, Sounds delicious! What a nice day to have pots simmering on the stove! I would be tempted to also add some kind of greens-spinach, kale, chard to the soup OR serve it with greens and cornbread and make vinegar and/or hot sauce available.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Great minds think alike. I am going to serve with fresh greens with chopped apple (they are so good this time of year), warm cornbread with honey/butter. It¹s a hearty soup and the house smells so nice. Thanks for the ideas. I have some spinach and will add that to the soup I freeze. Kathy on 11/23/08 2:35 PM, realfoodie2003 at realfoodie2003@... wrote: > > > > Kathy, > > Sounds delicious!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Well, that sounds even better! So you saute your greens with apple? I made some greens sauteed in coconut oil and onions this morning for breakfast. I was afraid that my kale would be too bitter (I'm really not that fond of kale, I only grow it because it is so hardy AND so good for you). Anyway, the kale was fine, the frosts and freezes must have sweetened it up a bit, and mixing it with chard helped tame the taste too. I also have some collard greens in the garden that I need to use. I saw a Somali man in the grocery store some time ago, buying bunches of them. I asked him how he was going to cook them and he said saute them with onions and tomatoes. I am on a mission to eat a pound of vegetables a day. So I have to start at breakfast to get them all in. This will hopefully help to keep me from eating other things that I shouldn't. And I'm not talking pop and candy bars here-I'm just talking things like...bread! I attended a conference this weekend about Gluten Intolerance put on by Nutrition Dynamics/Metagenics. I'll have to tell you all about what I learned in another post. Now I'm off to yoga!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Duh, just reread your post and got it, a fresh greens and apple salad I'm assuming...but I may be on to something here about cooking the combination too!
