Ingredients | Leftover Pulled Pork Recipes Soup
¼ pound dried white navy beans (Optional)
1 leftover ham bone
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, diced
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 cup chopped carrots
1 ½ pounds dried yellow split peas, rinsed and drained
1 cup chopped leftover ham
salt to taste
Directions
Soak white navy beans in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight. Rinse thoroughly.
Place ham bone in a large pot with water to just cover. Bring to a boil and cook for at least 4 hours. Add onion, garlic, and pepper and simmer 1 hour more.
Remove ham bone; strip any meat from the bone and return it to the pot. Add chopped leftover ham, soaked and rinsed navy beans, split peas, and carrots and bring soup to a simmer. Cook until peas begin to break down, about 1 hour. Season with salt.
I add the white navy beans because it gives the soup a little more of an interesting texture and consistency, but if you want to leave them out, it will still create a wonderful soup.
