Texas Honey Ham's Hambone Soup

Texas Honey Ham in Austin sells whole baked hams with a crackly honey-glazed crust. Pick up a ham to go or dine in. My favorite dish? The hearty Hambone Soup. Seven varieties of beans are simmered in an unctuous bone broth made from a whole ham! Snag the recipe here.
