Call me crazy, but I jumped at the opportunity to host Easter less than a week after we moved in to our new house. I was eager to show the house to everyone and it made for a great excuse to make sure my kitchen was painted ASAP. I used this ham glaze from the Pioneer Woman and IT WAS AWESOME!! Everyone really liked it, but as usual, I over-cooked so we had a good amount of leftovers. Based on a Betty Crocker recipe, here's how I used some of the leftovers to make a soup for my mom, grandma, and aunt who came to visit a few days later. It was a big hit, too!
Creamy Ham and Wild Rice Soup
