 | Directions |
- Place all of the ingredients into the slow cooker.
- Cook on the high temperature setting for about 4 hours or cook on the low temperature setting for about 8 hours.
- Remove the ham bones from the slow cooker, cool slightly, and remove the meat from the bones; then discard the bones, fat, and skin, and add the meat back into the slow cooker.
- Reheat the soup for an additional 30 minutes prior to serving.
Tip: Make this soup ahead, if possible, because it tastes better on the second day.
Tip: A ham shank will provide more meat and flavor. |
