Couple thoughts (and of course simply personal preference, no wrong way when making soup.) I find it best to simmer the ham bone for half a day, along with some garlic, celery tops, a crushed onion (skins on), unpeeled carrots. Then strain out, separate the ham and chill overnight (on my front porch this time of year) to let fat come to top so it can be removed. Then bring it back to the stove, add the ham and whatever else you like in soup. I find pasta gets too mushy if you cook too long, and for my taste it doesn't pair well with ham stock. Corn, a summer vegetable doesn't seem right with all the fall/winter options you could add. What I toss in - celery, carrots, chopped onion, Maine Yellow Eyed Beans (or any bean you like), maybe a chopped jalapeno or three, and maybe some parsnip or chopped butternut squash - or even chopped pumpkin. If you aren't into beans, you can always add potato. Seasonings - I find fresh or dried thyme, sage, a sprig of rosemary and some black pepper does fine - no salt, you get enough from the ham. Enjoy!

I think it depends on how much fat you like in your diet. Some will like more, others will want to strain. I'm with you because I eat a lower fat diet.

OMG…this sounds amazing!

I made this soup last night. I followed your instructions closely, but found that after an hour and a half of cooking, the pasta was becoming Rey soft. I couldn’t find the pasta you recommended, so I substituted ditalini. Everything was pretty well cooked at that point so I shut the flame off. The taste is fantastic! Next time though, I’ll put the pasta in about 30 minutes before the 3 hours are up. Thanks!

That’s what I was thinking about. I wasn’t sure it was a good idea to put the pasta in so early. But it depends on how long the bone simmers. Personally I would probably just simmer the ham bone in the chicken broth by its self for a few hrs before I added any other ingredients just to maximize the ham flavor of the broth. But this soup looks awesome. And I can’t wait to give it a go myself!

Boil the ham bone by itself first. The foam will rise to the top and you skim it off with a spoon. That foam will make the soup cloudy EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I make a stock with the ham bone, strain it, then start to build the soup. The same with any other soup. Makes for a better end product. I don't like pieces of fat, bone or cartilage in my soup. Those tiny pasta shells he put in there will dissolve into mush long before that soup is done also. With all that powdered chicken soup broth he added the sodium level will be off the charts in this recipe. Let the ham be the flavor for this soup...not chicken broth. A for effort on this video. But C- on how to build a delicious, somewhat healthy soup.

Actually ….. according to google “Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid to deformation under shear stress. It is commonly perceived as "thickness", or resistance to pouring. ... Thus, water is "thin", having a low viscosity, while vegetable oil is "thick" having a high viscosity.” Thanks for watching. Cheers. Marc

@@TheAverageKitchen You should have cooked the ham bone seperately, or made a mirepoix (carrot celery onion) first and added the ham bone and broth to develop over time in the pot, then add potatoes and or pasta later. Also corn especially at the beginning was like AH! I would have tried to get the maillard reaction set up first on your veg and then add the ham.

I cook old school style, my mother never used chicken stock in a ham soup!! That's actually crazy, the chicken taste ruins the flavor of the ham. The stock should be started with the bone/meat, onion, garlic, celery and carrot, salt and pepper to taste, boiled, then simmered for hours until there is no meat on the bone, the marrow from the ham bone is what helps to flavor the broth along with the vegetables that are breaking down to form the stock. From there you can add just about anything but to think that that giant bone with the meat on it would be ready and broken down before the macaroni is mush is crazy. Sorry but these cooking videos are not what they are cracked up to be.
