感恩節大餐之後的連續幾天就有點像在台灣過年之後每天都要吃同樣的剩菜剩飯一樣….
剛開始還蠻開心的，吃到後面臉都綠了⋯⋯
After Thanksgiving feast, everyone usually has to eat the same kind of left over for a couple days! For the first couple meals were still good, but it really gets boring later. So I’m showing an alternative recipe for leftover ham.
｛之如何處理剩菜剩飯篇｝
還記得昨天桌上那一大鍋烤的加鳳梨的火腿嗎？
我把火腿切下來以後用夾簾袋放在冷凍庫裡面，之後還可以做別的料理。
Do you remember the big pot of ham we had yesterday for Thanksgiving? I have cut out most of the ham and store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer for other recipes.
剩下中間大腿骨跟旁邊一些剩下來的火腿呢就拿來煮湯。
Then…. I use the bone and some ham for soup cooking.
因為火腿本身就已經是鹹的了，所以煮這個湯的時候最後的調味不需要再加鹽巴，只要在上菜前加一些黑胡椒粉就可以嘍！
Ham is already seasoned, so you don’t need to add salt to the soup. Just a pinch of black pepper before serving is sufficient!
這道湯品可以用爐子上直接煮，或者是用慢鍋、快鍋都可以！
You can cook this in a pot on the stove, in a slow cooker, or an electric pressure cooker like an Instant Pot.
其實這道湯品真的好簡單又好好吃，而且超級健康的！經濟又實惠，就是完全把家裡冰箱裡的有沒有的食材丟進去就可以了！
This soup it’s super easy to make, yummy, healthy, and budget friendly. You can just find anything from you fridge or pantry to put it in the soup.
通常我會找一個大鍋子，加入清水以後，再把大腿骨跟剩下的火腿肉丟進去，然後就放喜歡的蔬菜。
I usually use a big pot to add water and the bone and ham in. Then add anything you like.
建議的蔬菜有：高麗菜、洋蔥、玉米、紅蘿蔔、蘑菇、西洋芹、彩椒…等，可以加自己喜歡的口味加任何的食材！
Suggestions for veggies: cabbages, onions, carrots, mushrooms, celery, bell peppers… etc.
在美國因為墨西哥菜有很多的豆類，所以他會有一些豆子的罐頭，例如黑豆、黑眼豆豆、花豆…等，也是隨意想家舊家，看你喜歡哪一種口味的豆子都可以，不想要就不用加！煮飯就是這樣，自己喜歡吃就加什麼看心情！但是這種豆豆開罐以後要用清水洗乾淨，因為他裡面也有很多過於多的鹽分。
You can also use cooker beans from cans. Like black beans, black eyes beans, Kidney beans… etc. just remember to wash it and drain the excess water. Then add into the pot of soup and cook. If you don’t like beans, then don’t add it!
通常加在鍋子裡面煮到熟以後，關小火繼續悶煮15-30 分鐘，看你想要湯頭多濃郁，肉和蔬菜要多軟爛，慢鍋的話就讓他早上丟下去慢慢煮吧，煮個四個小時一定很入味！電子快鍋的話就是調到湯的部分讓他自己煮就可以了！
If you cook the soup on the stove, turn the heat on high and cook till boiling. Then turn the heat down to low for another 15 to 30 minutes depends how long how well cooked vegetables you like. If you are using a slow cooker, just throw everything into the slow cooker and let it cook in low heat for four hours. If you are using a electric pressure cooker, just select the soup mode and let it do the magic by itself.
Bon Appetit !
