Pea and Ham Soup
There is something hearty and filling about a good pea and ham soup. Perfect camping after a long day in the outdoors.
This is a great option to use up leftover ham whether roasted or smoked. If using a leftover bone, get some extra smoke by placing it back in the smoker for a second hit. Some butchers you can buy soup ham hock which works great also.
To make the soup a complete meal bake some fresh bread or rolls, or it can be served as an appetizer soup course to a larger meal. Also makes a light lunch option.
