Easter was really an odd Holiday this year and usually, I go to Minneapolis with my Mom to see my brother and his wife. Instead, I stayed home because of the social distancing rules and tried cooking a ham steak in the air fryer. I know, very exciting Easter Holiday right?! I can not wait until these social distancing rules are over. If you've never cooked ham steak before they are great for 1 or 2 people and they are pretty much just a thick slice of ham cut off a ham roast.
If you don't have a ham steak and ham that is ready to make the soup with you can easily skip the next section. Also, be sure to check the recipes below if you are looking for any other recipes to use up that leftover ham with!
