In the freezer I had a ham bone and some skin left over from Christmas so into a pot of water for a "3 hour tour"...

Any vegetables you like can be added. I added fresh chopped carrots, sweet corn, a quart of tomatoes, green beans, sweet peas, blackeye peas, baby lima beans, and 4 small russet potatoes cut up. About 1 heaping TBSP of coarse pepper, but no salt. The ham itself has enough salt. Brought it back to a boil until all the vegetables were tender...
Time to eat...
The carrots and potatoes were fresh, the tomatoes were my next to last quart of home canned, the corn was some I cut off the cob and froze, the rest of the vegetables were frozen from the grocery store. All stuff I had in my freezer.
This soup is especially good to us on these cold, gray, dreary winter days, but it's in the low 70's and sunny now...
Still good, though...
