Got a couple of ham bones I need to use up and was thinking about some sort
of a cream ham/mushroom soup. What do you guys think? Is this a weird
combo?

Never made it but it sounds rather interesting to me.

Doesn't it? Why couldn't you do it? Ham and mushrooms sounds like a good
combo.

It actually does sound good. The variety or mushrooms are virtually
endless too. I'm about ready to do a ham so that I can make a big pot of
my bean soup. I may have to save some of it and try the cream with
mushroom style too. If you try it, let us know.

I'd use ham bones with Navy beans, or lentils. :-)

Well, normally I would too.......my husband is a bean and lentil
nut..........but we want to do a lower carb recipe and this is all I could
think of. I think it *could* work, I'm just looking for ideas from the
group.

Hmmmmm... I can empathize with the low carb thing.
After all, I pretty much live my life that way! <lol>

Portabello might work better than button mushrooms,
and a bit of chopped celery.

I think I'd make more of a brown sauce tho' than a cream
sauce. I'm not convinced the salty/smoky flavor would go
well creamed?

What would you use as a low carb thickener?
I'm really interested in that. Winter squash
works ok, but it's not always the flavor or texture
that I'm looking for.

I was thinking of adding just a touch of flour with half and half and see
how that goes. It will still be relatively low carb. If I heat it up
enough, it may get to the right consistency. I've done a bit of googling
and there are recipes out there similiar, but they all use chicken broth.
I'm gonna give it ago with the ham bones and see what happens. I might have
stumbled on something good, you never know!

I use Cream of Mushroom all the time when I make scallop potatoes and ham,
that's the only way the hubby will eat it. Carol In WI
