🍲🐷👏🏻 An incredibly EASY and comforting soup that can be made with leftover holiday ham or deli ham! Your slow cooker does all the work to meld the flavors together. OR you can also make this on the stove top in 30 minutes!

Notes

Tips - The soup is great with leftover ham that you cube. If you don’t have any leftover ham, don’t worry. Pick up a pound of thick-sliced ham from your grocery store’s deli and cube it.
Serving: Soup is excellent served with freshly shaved or grated Parmesan cheese, hot pepper flakes if you like some heat, as well as cornbread or dinner rolls.
Storage: Soup will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, as needed.
