How to Make Ham Vegetable Soup in a Crock Pot

This recipe is great on a cold winter day. It is totally complete with meat and a ton of vegetables. Throw in some biscuits and you have an awesome healthy and full meal. Here is how you can make ham vegetable soup in a crock pot:

Things You'll Need

• 1 Large Ham Slice
• 1 can of sliced potatoes
• 2 cans of mixed vegetables
• 1 small onion chopped fine
• 1 can of pinto beans
• 1 can of diced potatoes
• 1 small can of tomato paste
• 3 tbs of powdered chicken bouillon

• Crock Pot

Instructions

1. Take your ham slice out of the package and chop in to bite sized pieces. Place in the crock pot.

2. Add the following ingredients to your crock pot: potatoes, mixed vegetables, onion, pinto beans, diced potatoes, tomato paste, chicken bouillon, bay leaves, parsley, and pepper.

3. Now add water to your desired thickness. I suggest at least 3/4 of the way up the crock pot if not more.

4. Mix together all of the ingredients.

5. Set your crock pot to low and cook 8-10 hours.

6. Scoop out the bay leaves before serving.

7. Serve hot.

Tips & Warnings

• Biscuits or crescent rolls go great with this dish.

• You can also substitute any type of beans for the pinto beans (lima, kidney, garbanzo).

• Do not add salt to this dish. The ham is already salty and adding salt will taste awful.
