Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 cups water, or as needed
3 cubes beef bouillon
1 teaspoon salt
1 (10 ounce) meaty ham bone
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed, or more to taste
2 small onions, roughly chopped
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

Fill a large soup pot with enough water to cover the ham bone, but don't add the bone yet. Bring to a boil.
When boiling, add bouillon cubes and salt. Crush bouillon with a spoon until dissolved, then add ham bone, potatoes, onions, kidney beans, turmeric, and cloves. Stir to blend spices and return to a boil.
Lower to medium-low heat and simmer until ham is hot and potatoes are easily pierced by a fork, about 1 hour.
Remove ham bone. Shred meat and discard bone. Return meat to the soup, and serve.
