Coriander Ham Soup 芫荽火腿汤

This is the results of a chat with a friend over how we can replace the usual pork ribs with ham. :P



I love the coriander stem for the crunch and fragrance but sometimes I have so much of the leaves left that I didnt know what to do with it. So thats definitely going it to the soup.:P  My friend suggested adding onions to make it sweet.



Its a trial and error soup that turned out alright for me and the best part of it is, it only takes 20 minutes to prepare and cook! Youll enjoy this if you like coriander.

Ingredients:

(1 serving)

• 1/3 tablespoon Butter


• 1 small Onion, diced


• 2 clove Garlic, chopped


• 4-5 slices or 100g Ham, chopped


• 1 big handful of Coriander Leaves, chopped


• 250ml Chicken Broth

How to do it:

1. Melt butter in pot.


2. Add in onion, garlic and ham.


3. Saute till garlic is fragrant and onion is softened.


4. Add in the coriander leaves and chicken broth.


5. Bring to a boil.


6. Pour mixture into a blender to blend to your desired consistency (mine still have bits of ham and onion).


7. Return to heat up and season with salt if necessary.

Crock Pot Maple Brown Sugar Ham

   My Grandma Jennings was an amazing lady. I miss her so much. Shes been gone for 7 years now, and I still think about her every day. She was a very elegant, high class lady, that made the most delicious food. I have so many great memories playing at her house as a kid, and I especially loved the meals she made.

  This year for Thanksgiving, I decided to carry on one of Grandmas traditions of making a ham, as well as a turkey for the big feast! I love ham, and always looked forward getting to enjoy turkey AND ham when we would have Thanksgiving at her house.

   I decided to make it a bit easier on me, and tried this recipe for a ham cooked in a crock pot! The verdict?....  It was the most delicious thing my taste buds have enjoyed in awhile! The flavors were so good,  and with how easy it was to do, it will forever be my go-to ham recipe!



Crock Pot Maple Brown Sugar Ham

7-8 pound spiral-cut ham (bone-in or boneless)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 cups pineapple juice


Directions: Use a 6-7 quart crock pot. Unwrap ham from wrapper, and discard the flavor packet. Place ham inside crock pot, flat side down. Rub the brown sugar over all sides of the ham. Then pour on the maple syrup and pineapple juice. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours. Baste ham with juices an hour or so before serving. When cooking is done, carefully remove ham from crock pot and place on a cutting board. Let rest 15 minutes before carving. Enjoy ♥
