Ham & Veggie Soup
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 15-oz can peas, drained
- 1 15-oz can lima beans, drained
- 1 15-oz can sweet corn, drained
- 16 oz package fully cooked diced or cubed ham
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, toss in the diced onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic, letting them sauté until the onions turn soft and fragrant. The aroma alone will have your campmates peeking over to see what’s cooking! Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, giving them time to soften and release their natural flavors.
Add the broth, remaining canned veggies, and ham to the pot. Stir well, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
This vegetable soup is easy to make ahead, so you can reheat it on the campfire for an even easier meal! Pair it with crusty bread, and you’ve got a cozy, satisfying meal for everyone in your camping group.
