I made this soup last Saturday.  I got the recipe from Soups from Amish and Mennonite Kitchens by Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbooks--it was worth the 50 cents I paid for it at a yard sale!!  This is the 3rd recipe I have tried out of the book, and this was our favorite so far!  There was 1 serving left when we were done--even Emily ate 2 bowls of it!  My boss had gotten us each a ham a few months ago, and after it was cooked, I saved the bone, so this was an especially frugal meal for us!  I also added a chopped carrot with the other vegetables!

Ham Noodle Soup

1 ham bone

1 tbsp. onion, chopped

1 celery stalk, chopped

1/2 lb. noodles

Salt and pepper

     Cook ham bone, onion and celery in 3 quarts of water until meat is tender.  Remove meat from broth and pick from bone.

     Add noodles to boiling broth and cook until tender.  Return meat to soup.  Salt and pepper to taste.
