Recipe Note

Got leftover ham from the holiday that you don't know what to do with? Look no further. Transform it into a rich and creamy soup. Don't be surprised if your family asks you to make a ham just to have this soup from the leftovers. Garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired.
