Ham Bone Soup
This gluten-free ham bone soup is one of the easiest and most satisfying dishes ever! It is infused with deep flavor from the ham bone, and the lemon juice adds a brightness right at the end that really takes this soup over the top. This soup is also very good for you since it develops natural bone broth from simmering the ham bone in it for so long. Enjoy!
