'Semi-Homemade w/ Boyhowdy' - Episode #6

Remember that ham bone from my 'Semi-Homemade Holiday Special'? Well, it's time to pull it out of the freezer and put that carcass to use!

Today, we're making a pretty simple variation on minestrone in the crock pot. Other than the ham core, here's whatcha need:
1 medium potato, cubed
1 carrot, sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 15-oz. can garbanzo beans
3 cubes chicken boullion (makes 6 cups of stock)
Salt & pepper to taste

Okay, in a saucepan prepare chicken stock. When done, dump it the crock pot with everything else...simple, no?

Just let it go for as long as possible, or at least until the potatoes are completely cooked through. By this time, any meat on the bone literally falls off or is easily disengaged with a fork. If desired, you can skim some of the fat off the top.

Soup's on! Yields a hearty amount, especially for one, so you can partition in containers and freeze for later consumption.
