ham dumpling soup
My mom loves this soup. For my dad I add cabbage and use the small dumplings with the clear broth. My family doesn't like onions and celery chopped. I used it for flavor, but you can add it chopped if you choose.

I was not sure how ham and dumplings would pair, so I just had to try this one... to satisfy my curiosity if nothing else! Turns out that the flavors are wonderful and I would gladly serve this to my most favorite guests. To prepare this soup I used a ham bone that I had frozen from a HoneyBaked Ham. Worked like a charm; I could taste all of those flavors coming through in the soup. De-lish.
