Pinoy Ham Bone Macaroni Soup

Pinoy Ham Bone Macaroni Soup. There is some Ham Bones sitting in the ref. for some time now. Today I decided to make a Macaroni Pasta Soup out of the Ham Bones. Ham bones will make great soup dish, the only problem is Ham Bones require to be slow cooked for hours to extract the flavors from the already dried out meats from the bones.

Cooking should be fairly easy except of course for the extra cooking process of pre-boiling the Ham Bones and shredding of the meats off the Ham Bones.

Here is the recipe of my Pinoy Ham Bone Macaroni Soup.

Ingredients:

1 ham bone with some meats, saw cut to pieces
2 small size carrots, peeled, cut to wedges
1 large onion, peeled, diced/chopped
2-3 stalks celery, trimmed, chopped
2-3 stalks leeks, trimmed, chopped
1/2 head garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. crushed black pepper

500 grams Elbow macaroni pasta, cooked as per package instructions
1 cup mixed vegetables
1 small chorizo, cut into thin slices
1/2 head garlic, peeled, crushed, chopped
1 medium size onion, peeled chopped
1 small bundle celery, trimmed chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fish sauce
cooking oil
salt and pepper

Cooking Procedure:

Pre-boil the ham bones: Put in the ham bone, carrot wedges, quartered onion, crushed whole garlic, crushed black pepper, celery and leeks. Pour in water up to 3/4 full. Cover and bring to a boil, and slow cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Scope out all the scum that rises. Add more water as necessary.

Now using a sieve, strain the soup to separate the broth from the vegetable residue, keep aside the broth ham bones including the meats that may have fall of from the bones and discard the residue.

Shred of the ham meat off from the bones, discard the bones.
