HAM BONE CORN SOUP WITH SHRIMP
A new direction from the usual pea soup, this is a delicious use up for that leftover hambone. The shrimp adds a festive note and good flavor, especially if you are able to get fresh rock shrimp. But any frozen or fresh shrimp is fine. I improvised this recipe when I wanted something different from pea or bean soup.
