Ingredients
- 1 ham bone with leftover meat attached plus leftover ham meat cut into bite-size pieces
- 4 carrots sliced (about 1 cup)
- 4 stalks celery sliced (about 1 cup)
- 4 Russet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 6 ½ cups water
- 15 oz Kidney Beans canned, drained
- 1 cup corn kernels from frozen or canned, drained
- 1 TB garlic powder or minced garlic
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In slow-cooker, add all ingredients except for potatoes. Stir well to combine. Cook on LOW for 8 hours (or on high for 6 hours), adding potatoes for the final 2 hours only, as potatoes can get mushy if cooked too long.
- Remove ham bone. If needed, remove attached meat and shred. Discard the bone, and return shredded meat to the slow cooker.
- Continue cooking until soup is warmed up again. If needed, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with warm dinner rolls or a crisp salad.

Notes
- Ham bone and leftover ham amounts/sizes will vary; this recipe is extremely forgiving and works well with varying sizes of ham bones.
- If your ham bone is on the larger side, try a large 10-quart slow cooker.
- Kidney beans can be swapped out with any other beans you prefer; try navy beans or great northern beans.
- If you'd like to make this soup over stovetop, we recommend a large Dutch oven or heavy pot. Cook on low boil for 2 hours, adding potatoes during the last 30 minutes, and continue cooking just until potatoes are tender.
