Mama's Leftover Ham Soup

One of the biggest complaints I hear from SuperMoms is coming up with new affordable and easy dinner ideas.  I grew up eating a soup so simple to throw together and a thrifty meal too!  Now I serve it to my kids and they are always asking this Mama for seconds and thirds!  So I thought I'd share!

I love buying a good ham.  Every smart shopper loves a buy that will give her two to three meals!  There are so many ideas of what to do with leftover ham.  Scalloped ham & potatoes, sweet n sour ham over rice, ham & eggs....and Mama's Leftover Ham Soup!  Great for chilly fall & winter evenings and maybe even lunch the next day!

Take two family sized cans of Cream of Mushroom soup.  I usually add one can of milk and one can of water, but you can adjust this for a thicker or thinner soup.  I chop up the leftover ham, add any leftover veggies (if none a bag of frozen green beans or corn will do) and any leftover potatoes and heat until warm!  Serve with some bread for sopping up the very last bit of this super simple but amazingly delicious soup! 

Just so you know- I HATE mushrooms but I can not get enough of this soup!  Onion lovers, add sliced onions to the soup or top with French's Fried Onions.  Yummmmmy!   I truly find I don't need any additional seasonings needed!
