Ham Bone soup recipes w/out beans?

I am looking for Ham Bone Soup recipes that do not have beans in them, as my husband is picky about beans. No split peas either! I know, it would be easier to get a new husband than cater to his stupid whims but for better for worse you know!!! We like chowder and stew style soups but I am having trouble finding any for ham bones with out the peas/beans.Ham Bone soup recipes w/out beans?

Try using sweet potatoes in the broth and ham bone and then using a food processor or blender break the sweet potatoes into a smooth paste and back into the broth as a thicknening and flavor agent. Ham and sweet pots taste really good together so as long as you use a chicken or veggie broth it should be really tasty.
