(Great use for left over Easter ham. I've used regular ham or honey glazed spiral sliced ham. This recipe came from the Bear Trail Soda Shop in North Carolina. It was a small restaurant about a block from the county courthouse in the mountains of western North Carolina. We were covering a trial up there and ate there several times over a couple of weeks. I loved this soup and coaxed the recipe out of the owner on our last day up there. I also got a recipe for a Toll House Pie that the videographer working with me loved. I'll share that some time too. Enjoy.)
