The weather here today is cold, cloudy, rainy, and dreary with temps in the low 40's. The next few days are going to be clear, but COLD, at least by our standards, with lows in the lower 20's. So I wanted to make soup or chili and opted for the soup. Next decision was what kind. Had everything I needed for vegetable and my wife loves it, so vegetable it is.
Since I had a couple of smoked ham bones in the freezer, ham based soup it is. Boiled the bones for a couple of hours then added the onion and tomatoes. Simmered for another hour and added the rest of the vegetables. Simmer until all are tender. All were either fresh or frozen except the tomatoes which were home canned.

Will make some cornbread, probably jalapeno, later to have with the soup...
