Easter Ham Soup with Wild Mushrooms

Dice the leftover ham.

When cooking ham, it's important not to boil it vigorously, but rather to simmer it gently. It's worth flavoring the water with onion, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaf, etc., so your cooking liquid will almost be a ready-made soup. You just need to thicken and enrich it.

Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic in a spoonful of fat skimmed from the cooking liquid.
