Looking at the left over ham on Christmas day, I remembered a soup my mother use to make and I set out to recreate it. It turned out just as I remembered.
I took the left over ham and diced up all the remaining ham. When there was nothing left but the bone, I submerged the bone in water and simmered to create a broth. I set the broth aside. Meanwhile I melted about 1/4 stick of butter and added a diced onion. I then added the diced ham and sautéed until the onion was done. I then added back the broth and a small bag of dried large white limas. I cooked slowly until the butter beans were done. As they cooked when I felt I needed more liquid I just added chicken broth. Salt and pepper to taste and a pan of hot corn bread and dinner was ready.
