Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

Ingredients

8 cups water
2 pounds chopped fully-cooked ham
4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3 cups cubed potatoes
2 onions, sliced
1 cup cream
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions

Place the water, ham, green beans, potatoes, and onions into a large saucepan or soup pot, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the ham and vegetables are very tender, about 45 minutes. Skim off any excess fat. Pour in the cream, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
