I make this as a soup in the Instant Pot minus the corn. It is one of my favorites.
The Country one pot meal of green beans, onions, corn, potatoes cooked with ham hocks have been a favorite meal for our families for four generations. We always cut the corn off of the cob. This is a one delicious meal. Some of us top it off with a bit of ketchup. All vegetables were fresh from the garden.
I have been doing a search on Ham, fresh green beans and new potatoes but I added 2 chopped heirloom beefsteak tomatoes plus fresh corn cut off the cob. I used a diced ham steak and added chopped sweet onion with chicken broth, s&p to taste. I suppose I could have used a bit of garlic powder to the mix but did not. Anyway just wanted to share my version of farmers market finds.
