gilthorp Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Two weekends ago, I made the Hof Haus ham my parents got me for my birthday in late October. Took the bone, and boiled it in about 8 cups of water along with some other spare pieces, took out the hame bone and meat, let the stock sit overnight to pull off the fat. Added vegetable broth, hand shredded what was on the bone and the other pieces. Potatoes, carrots, celery, red beans, green beans, canellini beans, and a cut up onion. It went in 5 days. Last night, bought a pot roast cut, with 8 cups of water, some beef bouilon cubes, and Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Boiled for 5 hours, and pulled the meat, and let the stock sit overnight. Pulled the fat, added beef broth, hand shredded the pot roast. Potatoes, corn, lima beans, green beans, peas, turnips, celery, carrots, and a cut up onion. Made the house smell awesome all day, and ready for the dinner helping. The ham and vegetable soup is unique, with the smoky flavor of the broth. The beef vegetable soup is a little more traditional, but making both varieties with Tony Chachere's warm you up inside just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seekrain Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 those both sound great. nothin like using the ham bone to make a killer broth. I made some Manhattan Clam Chowder a couple weeks ago, turned out really good. I steamed about 6 lbs of littlenecks with about a cup each of white wine & water, along with 4 cloves chopped garlic. strained out the liquid, pulled & chopped the clams. my wife is vegetarian, so instead of bacon I just sauteed the carrots, celery & onion in butter, added the reserved clam liquid, a can of clam stock, seafood stock, chopped tomatoes, chili flake & some dried thyme & a bay leaf. let that simmer for an hour or so, added the chopped potato & cooked til tender. added the chopped clams to each bowl as it was poured, little salt, pepper & parsley. Turned out really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
