  8. Next stir in carrots, sweet potatoes, thyme and bay leaves.
  9. Add in the ham broth and then season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  10. Bring the soup to a boil.
  11. Once the soup is boiling, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  12. Stir in ham and spinach then let cook until the spinach has wilted and the ham is cooked through, about 1-2 minutes.
  13. Serve immediately.
