I absolutely love the traditions of the US Army. I love the Army Band, pomp and circumstance, ceremonies, social events, bugle calls, uniforms ... all the big things and little things that make our military so unique and special. One of the traditions that I am thrilled to participate in is the holiday reception. We estimate that, since our quarters were built in 1870-1872 time period, that Soldiers and Families have been gathering in this home for close to 150 years! What an honor to be a part of this amazing history! Having these hero Soldiers and Families in our home is an absolute joy and I sincerely hope they enjoyed their time today.
Using my Virginia country ham, I made a Keto Ham soup that I've been enjoying all week. Ingredients 2 x Kettle and Fire - Bone Broth Chicken - 16.2 fl. oz. each 2 cups Broccoli, raw, chopped 2 cups Cauliflower, raw, chopped 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup diced country ham 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. black pepper Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, diced green onion, chopped bacon, hot sauce, pico de gallo, etc, Instructions In large stock pot, boil both containers of bone broth. Add chopped, raw broccoli and cauliflower. Cover pot and steam for 5 - 7 minutes until soft. Use hand-held blender to mix vegetables. Add cream and spices. Slowly add in shredded cheese, stirring to help melt evenly. Once soup is blended and smooth, add diced ham. Serve with desired toppings.
Have not thought army life could be like this joyful. Best wishes for all of you. mash clothing
