I have some leftover ham from dinner the other night and I would just hate to throw it away. Does anyone have a quick and easy recipe? Maybe for a soup, since it is rainy and cold in my neck of the woods. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. I want to use the ham tonight.

Im fresh out of soup recipes, but one thing I made with my leftover ham was ham/potato hash that turned out raelly good. Just fry up some potatoes to your desired doneness and add ham, and maybe some onion and bell pepper. Fry until perfectly brown and delicious. Top with some fried eggs.

How about some good old fashioned split pea or lentil soup with ham? You can go the very easy route by purchasing already made split pea or lentil, or you can make your own by cleaning a bag of lentils (or peas) and putting them into a sauce pan with 6 cups of chicken broth, 1 onion, diced, 1 carrot, diced, and 1 stalk of celery diced. Bring to a boil and simmer. Add your chopped up ham and 1 Tsp thyme and simmer until lentils or peas are tender and the soup has thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer more veges, then chop those up and add during the cooking process. Serve with a green salad and warm bread!
