Last week when the weather was dreary and cold and I had a terrible cold, all I wanted was something warm and comforting for dinner. I love a good ham and bean soup, but one that can be ready in 30 minutes is what I’m really after. Around the holidays we seem to always have leftovers from a Honeybaked Ham and we put some of it to use with this soup! The flavor is absolutely delicious and I made homemade cornbread to pair with the dish. I’ve also included the recipe I followed for the bread because it was too easy and good not to share!

This soup sounds like what I’m in need of – I swear I’ve had the same cold for about three weeks now, I just can’t shake it! I’ve been having loads of fruit and veg of late to boost my defences and this soup sounds like a win on that front, shall try this out soon – it’s freezing here – so it’s the perfect climate too!

No bean soup would be complete without a side of cornbread. This looks like a perfect dish for wintertime!
I have been feeling under the weather this week, so this soup sounds perfect. I may need to make up a pot real soon.
