Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat, saute onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until tender and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add water, ham bone, and chicken bouillon, simmer until meat falls off the bone, about 1 hour. Transfer ham bone to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly.

  2. Stir beans and potatoes into ham broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut ham into bite-size pieces and return to the pot. Add tortellini to the ham and bean soup, simmer until pasta is tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir zucchini and parsley into soup and continue to simmer until zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes more.

  3. Divide soup into bowls and garnish with Parmesan cheese and black pepper.

Recipe Note

This is a great way to use the last of the Easter ham. It's pure comfort food, but also a great way to get a good variety of vegetables.
